Had OZ books -- 13 of them from my mother's collection and read them all when I was younger.
Big on 'golden age' sci fi.

My kids both loved the Oz books, Potter and detective books...I honestly have no idea why.
My son finished (he is 12) 'Into the Volcano' by, Forrest DeVoe, Jr. just before I left for Fla. last week. I read it on the plane and enjoyed it.
He is also into sci fi...again, not my deal but I am soooo happy they read, and read a lot.
I loved the Hardy Boys as a kid (I was not precocious, rather stolid) but then moved into Twain, Knowles, Salinger and others...pretty mainstream.
My favorite book in the 70's was, "A Princess Bride". It was a wonder WAY before the movie.
