Roald Dahl for the win
Read all his books sooooooo many times when I was a kid. Also read plenty of Enid Blyton, and then as I got a bit older, Fighting Fantasy adventure game books. Oooh and Jacqueline Wilson......ooh and Brian Jacques. I absolutely loved the Redwall books! When I was a kid, I'd read pretty much anything I could lay my hands on. The local library was always my favourite place to go

Forgot the name of the series, thos of you that aren't older than the hills will remember Biff, Kipper and Chip and the Magic Key which thinking about it is a blatant reference to Mushrooms I'm sure.

Anything by Roald Dahl or Jaqueline Wilson. Also read a lot of the Babysitters club. When I got a bit older I was really into the Point Horror/Romance books and Phillip Pullman.
My all time favourites have to be The Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell or Watership Down by Richard Adams. Both are beautiful books and lovely well written and I've read them both fairly recently. I also noticed the funny thread title, it's why I had to have a look, not as sinister as I thought!!
