As a child, what was your favorite book? Have you reread that book since your childhood?

       easy. the chronicles of narnia. we used to get the scholastic reading program fliers every couple weeks or so. at the time i didn't know what the story was, but i wanted it so bad. i was always allowed a book or two from the flier, but this was a big one and a little more expensive so i had to reserve it as a birthday or christmas present (don't remember which). i was so excited when i finally got it. i tore through them, then read them all again. don't know how many times i've read them since, but a fair few, and i'll still pick one up now and again and spend an hour or two on it. doesn't take me nearly as long now as it used to. those were the books i'd stay up late into the night reading with a flashlight under the covers.

       other childhood favorites included "the little engine that could," "tuffy the tugboat" (when i was really small), and i very much enjoyed the boxcar children series, or at least back when they were still written by the same author. also about a hundred million others that i can't remember at the moment, or i can and don't want to go through all of them.
