When I was young I read a book called East of the Sun and West of the Moon.  
I am no longer sure what is was about, but then I just could not put it down. 
 My father had a set of books about the old Squire.  It was about a farm 
family in Maine just after the Civil War.  I also read all of Shakespeare 
when I was 9 and 10 because my Father said they were filth and dirty books 
and would not let us read them.  I had to find out about the filth and the 
dirty part, so I read them all.  You can imagine my surprise when we had to 
read them in school.  Dirty books is school.  How about that!

There are great used book stores on the web. Abe books is one I use if  
I want to pay for something but there's also paper back book swap....I  
love that place cause more people get rid of good hardback cook books  
and other goodies than you can shake a stick at. I am thrilled there  
are also two used books stores in town.

I just picked up about 30 used kids CLASSICS....and I do mean old  
classics, from the Tompkins County Library Used book store....The  
Bobbseys, a bunch of Alcotts, not just Little Women but the Eight  
Cousins series I loved, a Little Prince with glorious illustrations,  
ditto a whole Narnia series, the Five Little Peppers, just amazing old  
books. We just finished Pinnochio...holy cats was it different than  
the disneyfied version I remember. The Secret Garden was the one  
previous to that, she was enthralled. Most of today's childrens' books 

are so dumbed down, these are so nice to read aloud. Real words!


If anyone would like to recommend their childhood favs, I'd be grateful!

You are thinking rationally and intelligently; Rob; But,  this is how our 
gov't thinks; and is as likely to occur :

"Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!"
