Morning rDrama
I'm feeling nostalgic this morning, so, what books did you read as a kid that you loved?
Here's mine:
I picked this up when I was 10 or 11 and I can confidently say that this is what made me want to be an author when I grew up
I also was read the little house on the prairie books, but we only got to book 4 as a class, so I'm reading them again.

It's not a secret. They were kick-butt kids books. You just shouldn't make them your personality as an adult

It's hilarious how people get mad at you for linking them as a kid. Like yeah, no shit, most people enjoyed one of the top selling book series of all time 20 years ago. They sold a billion fricking copies.
I reread them four years ago and was surprised at how good they were! I'm planning on getting the game at some point this fall. I just don't make it my whole personality.

I know this is a opinion but as far as children's books go they are really good, they absolutely deserve their success. JKR is an expert storyteller
obviously don't go getting a tattoo of it or anything, but I respect good books for kids, to make their imaginations get bulked up so they can build me orbiting retirement homes or oppress wagies or something

Yeah I reread the books four years ago and was surprised at how much I still enjoyed them. They're good books! I think there's a lot of cope over the franchise with people being in denial that "book series that was crazy popular was pretty good".

They're shit for grown ups, I tried. I recommend Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett instead. Really well written adventure with good handling of complex issues. Hope nobody's spoiled themself with the filmed version, I think they ruined the ending there.

They arent bad, the meme was read another book for a reason. If they sucked the meme would be something akin to "still a better love story than twilight"

Twilight was good. It just appealed to foid fantasies so moids didn't understand it.
When the gender swapped version came out, /lit/ apologized. Nothing wrong with a little wish fulfillment.

They were good for what they were, fantasy novels for children and teenage girls, not for adults to revolve their personality around
