I don't think I've ever read even a single one of those series. Were they written in order? Is there a good one to start with?

I've read Prydain a ton of times, too. Wolves Chronicles is a new one for me, though--never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

Deep dark confession of a librarian/English Masters student: I have to admit that I've never read Jane Eyre. I've never even seen a movie adaptation of it. You may now all commence making fun of me. That is all. :-)

Absolutely! I would even be happy to lend you my copy when your ready.

At this point, though, it's almost a badge of honor. I made it through life without reading Jane Eyre. :-)

I totally agree. I would also add the 2 Whinnie the Pooh books. I don't have children but I still enjoy reading them to myself.


It was the first chapter book I was able to read on my own and I just fell in love with it.
I'll probably keep reading it throughout my life. I should really buy a copy of it soon.

As a child, I re-read Little Women almost every year -- I'm not sure why, but it was something I did.

I've read that one multiple times, too. And of course watched the cartoon, although I have yet to watch the live action adaptation from a year or so ago.
