Not into fiction much these days, more into factual stuff.
(on a late learning curve!)  ;D

Heidi was the first book I really enjoyed as a child - read it over & over.

Some of the Enid Blyton stuff - enjoyed the Treaure Hunters.

Most of Dickens' books. Actually used Oliver Twist as part of an exam recently, funnily enough. And  A Christmas Carol. Such descriptive writing.

The Helen Keller Story - amazing.  :'(

George Orwell - 1984 & Animal Farm

The first "grown up" book I read was Rosemary's Baby when I was about 15, the film doesn't come close - but that's often the case if you read the book first. Same with Amityville Horror.

Not really in into Shakespeare. Have his complete works, but it tends to be used mainly for crossword reference!  ;D
