    I read "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" and loved the storyline, but I ended up copping out and watching the made for tv movies on the other ones because I just couldn't get into reading them. They were a bit deep really, at least I think so.

    Another timeless classic (for me at least) were the Anne of Green Gables series. I used to love those when I was a kid. I also loved Nancy Drew Mysteries. I got a bit into the Little House on the Prairie books, but again got bored with those as well. Just lost my attention after awhile.

    I was a "Dick King Smith" fan when I was a kid. Great books. "The Sheep Pig" was made into a Movie - "Babe".

    Yeah I quite enjoyed the Sheep Pig too. A much better title than Babe I thought. But then again, I thought Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was a much better title than Blade Runner, so maybe I just have a thing for sheep. Welcome to the forums by the way. [​IMG]

    That's meant to be "Glad to be here".
