I read all the hardy boys, all of Marx Twains books and books about the lives of baseball players. The nuns didn't care what you read as long as you read. Now the boys in school have to read about some slave girl or a girl living with gay parents. Total nonsense and it makes boys hate to read.

No, the Grimm's Brothers wrote great "Fairy" tales....translated from the original German, some of them were really very dark (blood and gore) but i liked the ones like Little Red Riding Hood that were all cleaned up...no blood and gore for me.... Didn't know the same writing team did both Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew stories....See the things we learn on SI? I loved to read too....and always had at least a couple of books underway, and read them after coming in from playing Cowboys and Indians, Hide n' Seek, Kick the Can, Red Rover, or something else similar...Even when we got a TV, we weren't allowed to be glued to it for more an an hour or so a day...and then it was for something like the Sid Caesar Show, or Jack Benny, etc...
