Old Favourites

Elf.Freak · 12-16-2002, 11:57 AM

has anyone, when chucking out old things, ever came across a book which you've had for ages?
like any books you've had since when you were a baby, child, etc.
if you have, post them here!

i found my old 'Spot the Dog' books once!

My relatives came up for Christmas, so my mom made me clean up my room. As I was clearing out moldy junk from underneath my bed, I found my copy of Where the Red Fern Grows. That book was my favourite untill I read the Lotr books. It was my Mom's copie before it was mine. She borrowed it from the library wen she was in 7th grade... and never returned it. (I wonder who much she owes her Middle School in fines?) I have read it once a year since the 4th grade! I love it sooooo much! It is my second favorite book. (I count the lotr books as one, because that is how they were meant to be published in the first place.)

When I moved I found like 13 Wishbone books. Most of them were the Wishbon Mysteries but I also found my only Wishbone Super-Mystery and some other Wishbone books.Wishbone rox!

eowyngirl14 · 01-09-2003, 04:25 PM

I love those books! The movies are pretty cool too! (not that I accualy watch them anymore or anything... I swear!)

I just moved a couple weeks ago. I did indeed discover books I had no idea I still owned. I can't post them specifically though, because I have literally hundreds (thousands?) of books, and the number of volumes I was surprised by numbered in the double-digits. And on a Tolkien board I'm sure anyone who's moved will commiserate with my feelings, but books are an absolute DRAG to move. I found myself wishing I was one of these guys with just some clothes, a bed, a couch, and a playstation (which I don't have mind you) to move. Oh, I just got round to unpacking books and putting them on shelves tonight! I am now officially living in my new pad!

eowyngirl14 · 02-04-2003, 04:59 PM

piggie pie... i see. *walks off shaking head and muttering to herself*

Laurus Nobilis · 02-28-2003, 11:05 AM

I still have a copy of 'The Learning Tree'.

I loved that book!

When I found it, it made me wonder if there wasn't a deep subconscious reason why i liked the Ents so much...

***IronParrot*** · 02-28-2003, 05:19 PM

I never chuck out old things. Most of my childhood books were passed down to my brother.

But regarding the titles themselves... man, where do I even begin...

Grey_Wolf · 03-14-2003, 12:08 PM

Kipling's "The Jungle Books"

Dumas' "The Three Musketeers"

Roger Lancelyn Green's "King Arthur And His Knights of the Round Table"

Nevil Shute's "A Town Like Alice"

Burnett's "The Secret Garden" and "The Little Princess"

Jadera · 03-15-2003, 01:22 PM

I just found a book called "I Can Fly". It was written in the seventies or something, and it was my brother's first. I really love that book!

I can fly! I can fly! I can...

Flop.

Elvellyn · 03-17-2003, 12:21 AM

"The Butter Battle Book" by Dr.Suess

***Khamûl*** · 03-17-2003, 12:35 AM

When I was little, my favorite book was "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel". And "The Little Engine That Could". And "Where the Wild Things Are". And...

I liked 'Mike MUlligan and his Steam Shovel' too! Just the other day I was reading it to my little sister and i realized for the first time that MIke really could have dug his way out with his steam shovel. He didn't have to be stuck there for ever.

My mom said that I was ' a little slow' and my dad just shook his head and said,
it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool,
then to speak and removes all doubt'

They were running a promotion on that recently at the Shell Petrol Station: they had all these cute little monters from the book!

But I met a lot of things on the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner at the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlórien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away I knew there were the Horse-lords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn Forest was an unforeseen adventure." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
