I find it pleasing that I've read all but 1 of the books on this list:

DUDE. GET ON IT IMMEDIATELY. Claudia is so smart and Jamie is hilarrrious and they're living in the metropolitan museum of art!

At least I believe that's the museum -= I have to dig up my copy now.

I loved From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler!

Same here, but...

I've also read all but that one book...

...but for some reason, I am somewhat less pleased <--HOW ARE THOSE BOOKS "GIRL BOOKS". I refuse to let you claim the Redwall series.

Haha, we can share :P

I agree with jon. ender's game and redwall are not girl books. Especially Ender's Game. On another note, I hate that there are distinctions between girl books and boy books. I remember reading, "Are you there god, it's me margaret," when I was in the fourth grade even though my teacher said not to, and i turned out alright. didn't i?

wait, don't answer that. =P

Well, if it's any comfort, Ender's Game is also on the list of 50 Best Books for Boys: http://artofmanliness.com/2009/11/15/50-best-books-for-boys-and-young-men/

But hey, no one said these had to be exclusive :P
