ALL of them or just some special ones? <br /><br />Melf, Ickle Bickle Robin! Another great name. I haven't heard of this book, but now you're making me wonder if any of the hundreds I gave away might have been worth 300 dollars. I hope not! Your mum reminds me of my dad who, as I mentioned earlier, gave away boxes of my Marvel and DC comics from the 60s.georgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-82383211340249190602012-09-16T06:12:36.891+10:002012-09-16T06:12:36.891+10:00OMG.

My favorites (some of which I still have or purchased as an adult) are The Secret Garden and the Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett, all the books by Madeline D'Engle (of A Wrinkle in Time fame) and the Boxcar Children. <br /><br />One childhood book I wish I had kept and didn't (because my mother threw it away) was Ickle Bickle Robin. I loved that book as a child. It is now goin for over $300 on eBay.

I have a set of old books from childhood series that I love, too, like Anne of Green Gables and Jupiter Jones.<br /><br />I have more modern favorites, too, like the Harry Potter series and The Thirteenth Tale. Honestly, I can't see myself being able to part with any of my books!

I wish I still had my complete collection of Nancy Drew books. It's probably better that I don't. My most precious book is my copy of Charlotte's Web. I credit that book with making me a lifelong reader. My favorite Dr. Seuss? Green Eggs & Ham. I also love, from the Dr. Seuss Library, Are You My Mother, A Fish Out Of Water and Go Dog, Go.What Remains Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639514211222397393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-54484160759819008422012-09-11T11:05:19.263+10:002012-09-11T11:05:19.263+10:00I basically went through the library in my hometow...I basically went through the library in my hometown and read a LOT.

I have my father's lab notebook from a college chemistry class...would never part with that. The Bible my grandmother gave me. The Killer Angels - a book I had to read for History 1001 in college - I would rather not get rid of it. And Love you Forever and Let me Hold You Longer...children's story books that I read to my boys when they were little. I wouldn't part with the set of Harry Potter books we've collected either. And maybe the Twilight books too...they were better than I thought they would be!

I love lots of those books and I read Dr Seuss' 'Too Many Daves' at the beginning of every school year because I can never remember all the kids' names all the time. Then I can get away with calling them all Dave. It saves any problems. As for books I can't throw away... I can't get rid of my 'On The Origin of Species' which is terribly boring and grown up... just can't. Or my James Heriot books, or 'Le Petit Prince'. Actually, you've made me think that I REALLY need to go through my bookcases and turf some forward. <br /><br />When I was studying at uni I did an ecology course about forestry management and our lecturer was talking about what is known as an 'Elfin' forest (I think I've got that right). He said under his breath as he was turning away 'that's where all the Hobbits live', to which my friend (the OTHER mature student) and I fell off our chairs laughing, and all the 18 year olds looked at us like we were weird. Which we were, but at least we got the joke BEFORE the movies all came out. And we got As in that course. :) <br /><br />I love the picture of Georgia going to bed... isn't it lovely that we can spoil our dogs. I often think of all those poor animals who don't even have homes, let alone a safe, warm, comfy bed to lie on, at the foot of our own. Sigh. <br /><br />Blimey, I've gone on a bit. Sorry.

My favorite were the Heidi. There were over 10 of them. Then were the legends books from all kind of countries or culture.<br />I get rid of them because I know my future grand children won't read them from paper. And for the other books, we had read them and were not going to re-read them, and the shelves were nearing a break down. <br />I'm glad I cleaned those books away, but it made me uncomfortable, I felt like I was getting rid of my stuff... after my death. argh.
