I had too much to nap today.

[substitute]

I'm all zingy, zappy, and fizzy. I think I'll be reading late into the night.

Blueberries in nonfat yogurt make me happy.

Question of the day, following a discussion at D's about childhood reading: What book or books in childhood did you particularly love? Which one or ones did you reread multiple times? Which one would you go back and read now, as an adult?

bookssssssssssss

Little House on the Praire (re-read multiple times, Farmer Boy more often than the series as a whole)
Where the Red Fern Grows
To Kill a Mockingbird (which I still re-read at least once a year)
Old Yeller
White Fang
Anything Roald Dahl wrote for children, and those are very different years later (especially after having learned more about him and read his adult stories).
Where the Wild Things Are (I think it's telling how often this comes up.)
The Encyclopedia Brown series (though that's something you definitely grow out of).
The Little Prince (which I definitely did not get as a child and enjoy more and more every time)
E.B. White, Shel Silverstein, etc. etc.

I repeatedly checked out the only book on Norse mythology in my middle school library.

The Encyclopedia Brown series (though that's something you definitely grow out of).

I might have thought that too, had there not been an article on him in the Onion a while back... :-)

The Case of the Crazy Shit

Modern Humorist did some good parodies of the stuff. I still have fond memories of the books, but it's not something I'd ever re-read.
