Ooh, cool list. /scans for things I've read

Doctor Doolittle the book. Now that was good literature. XD And The Little Town on the Prairie and its sequels... I read them all. There is some really great stuff on this list. "Holes" is exceptional. I'm surprised you haven't read that. And I started "The Graveyard Book" this afternoon. Good so far!

Love Doctor Doolittle. I read part of Holes (read it with elementary school kids as a mentor). I think the movie probably deterred me from picking it up to finish. "The Graveyard Book" sounds very spooky, but also great plot after reading the Publisher's summary.

The movie is okay, but the book is better. It makes a little more sense.

The first chapter of TGB was rather spooky, considering it's a kid's book, but I definitely got hooked by it. XD

I've actually read quite a few of these. I agree with you on The Westing Game (great myster) and The Giver (just an amazing concept). I personally loved A Wrinkle in Time and all it's sequels too.
