Ulysses

Was okay but I was writing better material myself anyway

>>7539784
Earthsea Quartet was great

>The Homeric Poems, in original Greek.
Essentially writing for very young people. Romantic in the large sense.

Skulduggery Pleasant, skeleton detective.

Pretty much all of tamora pierces works kept me company, right up until now.

Cherub

Read Wizard's First Rule in 5th grade, finished up to Temple of the Winds in 6th grade, and had to wait till college until I could finish that series.....but I toughed it out in the end and felt it wasn't worth it afterwards :/

I read Ulysses when i was 16 or 17. I dont remember a lot, i remember i thought some part of book was "baroquish". I remember also going to my fellows, readers of Tom Clancy or GRR Martin and bragging i read post-modern literature. Beautiful times

My favourite books as a kid were Robinson Crusoe, LotR and the Iliad (all translated to German)

I really liked my German Lord of the Rings too, I recall reading it to my dad as a child after he had read The Hobbit to me when I was younger, he wanted me to get good at reading.
We both enjoyed it, I like to think that we bonded over that experience.

Back then I got more into Treasure Island than Robinson Crusoe as far as I can remember

I also really enjoyed pic related on my own, sky pirates, wizards on floating rocks, it being one of the few fantasy settings that wasn't a Tolkien clone and the way the setting developed and evolved over the course of the series really appealed to me.
Amazing illustrations too

These were a big part of my childhood, also this one book that had a bunch of kids on an island in the lake just having adventures, sailing and making mischief by an Arthur something. Can't recall much about the book besides that I loved it and that it seemed unfair that kids could go and have such great fun when I couldn't go anywhere in the city. Cant find the book on the nets with what I have, sorry.

Arthur Ransome. You might be interested to know it's actually a series of books, not just one.

>>7540186
Thanks anon, yeah those were them. Thanks for the recommendation, I never thought about them until now, but they were really comfy.

>>7540163
fucking this

I mainly read old regional tales, stories about knights, gestes, medieval battles and epic journey sailing the seas.

I liked it Earthsea.
Which reminds me - does anyone remember which book of the cycle was about a girl who was kept as a pet? Or am I confusing something?

The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet

Broken Sky. I've never seen or heard anyone ever mention it, but I really enjoyed it. The cover caught my eye one day when I was shopping with my mom, so I asked her to get it for me. I liked it so I ended up getting all of them.

Picture isn't mine though, got it from Google.

good times desu

>>7540037
I read this a lot. I remember watching Beelzebub many years later, and being confused that it had a demon bird called an Ak-Baba in it, given that it's a creature specific to this series. Turns out Japan made a Deltora Quest anime that never got any American press. Blew my mind.

when i found out the rocks spelled DELTORA it blew my 8 year old mind and i was super proud of "figuring it out" before the characters did kek

I owned that entire collection of choose your own adventure books and they are brutal.

>>7542867
Deltora Quest was pretty fun. The ending blew me away as a kid even though in hindsight it's super obvious. My favorite story was probably either the one about the Opal or the Lapis Lazuli though. The Ra-Kacharz and the Hive were pretty cool concepts

>>7540163
I actually bought all of these, even like the ninth one just for nostalgia's sake. The first 4 will always be the best though.
>>7544559
the middle of this series became really repetitive but it redeemed itself with the final three.
