I can still remember doing "Fun with Dick and Jane" at a very early age. Encyclopedia Brown not long after that, and then the Hardy Boys series, Treasure Island, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and then every science fiction book I could get my hand on (7th grade for the start of my sci-fi era).

My Dad had a huge Hardy Boys collection from when he was younger. It seemed to me that he must have had them all. Who knows. I think my grand mother used to give him a dime or quarter or whatever small denomination to buy them when they would go shopping on magazine st in the 60's. I remember reading one of them about I think it was some kind of Chinese pirate ship that the boys restored. This was probably like 20 years ago that I read it, so I guess I could be completely misremembering it. I wonder what ever happened to those books.
