Holy shit I remember this. In fact, i think my mom still has it in storage. I remember we originally got it when my parents took me to Barnes and Noble and the author was there doing a read outloud at the kids section and talking about how he was inspired by how he was a kid and always got in trouble with his mom.

Holy shit that was so fucking long ago I can't even believe I remember that. This feels like that fucking scene in Ratatouille that zooms into the Critic's eyeball as he remembers a moment from his childhood.

I was found of a book called Trouble for Trumpets. It had really great artwork, and I enjoyed looking at the various little animals, planets, devices, etc in the numbered list.

Unfortunately, the book is out of print, so copies are expensive to find, and as far as I know, no scans of it are available.

>>91838868
So you were a strange kid. Right?

>>91838955
Yep.

>>91838683
Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun was fantastic and instilled a love of Adventure stories and Lost Civilizations. With the latter it's somewhat responsible for my decision to study Archeology.

Still have it too.

Wow what a bunch of plebs in this thread. I read proper literature as any child should read, not that infantile nonsense. No wonder most of you grew up to be losers.

Seriously though I remember getting from the library plenty of times this very elaborately illustrated book, kind of in the style of those DK cross section books, about these kids who visit a haunted house and in the end it's all holograms and stuff. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>91838868

I think I still have a copy signed by the author that my grandmother got for me. I also named my cat after her (She's all-black and likes to steal stuff off my desk and hide it in her bed). I really liked looking at the illustrations. I remember in one of the books, there was a long page that was Eloise in an elevator going all the way down the building and she was doing something mischievous on every floor. It was just a lot of little fun detail drawings, like those Where's Waldo illustrations where the fun is looking at every little thing that's going on.

My local library had to move a few years ago, and was selling the beat up or unwanted things. Got to snag a few childhood favorites for myself, it was a little bitter sweet.

when you liked a book so much as a kid you stole it.
You knew where the security tag was, were it was, and how to remove it
You were so fucking ashamed you never went back to that particular library again

I've donated money to that one in particular as an adult but I still feel really bad about it.

>>91838683
Nobody will believe me because anyone that I've told about this book thought I was just pulling their leg.

But there was this Garfield book I used to read a ton when I was little. Garfield is like, a super hero or something. He fights some pirates? The details of the book are a little foggy, but... I loved the hell out of that book, for some reason.

No, although I do remember having that book as well. I didn't like this one as much as the one where Garfield/Jon go to an island and Jon actually gets some islander pussy.

The book I'm talking about was an actual novel but with occasional pictures placed in.

>>91839666
>The incredibly ugly ducking is something that would have all sorts of butthurt surrounding it nowadays
not really, the actual 'Ugly Duckling' story is far more problematic since it implies that if you have troubles in life you are actually just FATED TO RECEIVE A BETTER LIFE BUT JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET

Also that if you're made fun of for your looks you will grow up to be stunningly conventionally attractive.

this is one of the first books i read of my own accord as a kid, we were taking a major test and i finished early but school policy kept me from being able to leave the class room, so the teacher made me pick a random book off of a dusty shelf to read, I actually like it and stole it, read a chapter every night before going to bed.

Dinotopia. Made such a lasting impression, twenty or so years later I still have dreams set in the waterfall city.

The original Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs book did the same to me too; scared the fuck out of me in like 1st Grade because things that are way bigger than they should be unnerved me. Cried and left the room when it was the book we were reading as a class. Actually refused to watch the CGI movie until my friend sat me down and forced me several years ago because the title alone reminded me of such negative emotions.

Back in elementary I had also drawn out a shitty comic series where I had to redraw the same four pages of each edition at least twenty times because I couldn't get a photocopier. In middle school me and a bunch of buddies created an entire elaborate comic series. I really need to find those comics, just to see if I have improved or not.
I really think it's amazing that other kids sold comics because of Captain Underpants. Dav Pilkey really shaped my humor and imagination, and I just love the fact that my art never gotten to the point of being anywhere as good as his childish style. I really got to see him in person one day, and hopefully the movie isn't a flop this summer.

So was this book an extended pun on "mute swans"?

There was this book whose title I forgot, but it had a woman looking out from behind a green stone wall on the cover.
It was about a haunted castle. A woman went in and refused to show the creature haunting it her fear, so it tried to attack her and had a fit when she escaped. I remember at the end she went back to the castle during the day and saw the creature's bloody nails torn off and stuck in the walls where it scratched during its fit.

This was the shit man. Used to read this book all the time.

My school library eventually got rid of it for some reason.

I don't know if I loved it, but it stuck with me because I was freaked out how the protagonist was transformed multiple times. I don't know why but, as a kid, for whatever reason I found it deeply disturbing to see someone turned into an arrow and fired from a bow.

If you liked animorphs you would have LOVED these.
Even as a kid I just wanted to know if the kid would see the person he turned into's private bits and I wasn't dissappointed in a couple.

I have no idea what the author's problem is these days but something is not right.

Here's another example.

I also read Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Gerseburmps
The Gone series (basically Under the Dome but with kids and it's more f'cked up)
The MOTHERFŲCKING Warrior cats series!!
And almost every Maurice Sendack book; little boy penis and all.

I own every single hardcover I Spy book ever published. Skeleton a cute.

This was more than book series, it was like a lifestyle.

>>91840606
It's really a work of art. The whole "combine the linear Western philosophy with the circular Eastern philosophy to make a spiral" thing really blew my mind as a kid. The movie was god awful though.

>>91840606
I still feel awful about my Dinotopia books being destroyed by water damage. Those illustrations were amazing.

To be fair, at the age I read them I couldn't really grasp the philosophical implications at all. But man, those illustrations. Stands right up there with the Terran Trade Authority books, another series I browsed for the images long before I could bother reading the text.

Read the books
Played the haunted house game
I spy and where's Waldo shaped me.

Anyone else watch the stop motion movies? With the tennis ball headed kid?
The trailers in them are what got me into curious george.

Play the other PC games too. Treasure Hunt and Fantasy are great

I used to read this, Roald Dahl books, and The Magic Treehouse books religiously.

Once I turned 12 my parents took all those books from me, and locked me in my room until I finished Ender's Game, The Tripods, and War of the Worlds.

Never read books again after that.

Itt no one has mentioned

>>91859863

Vastly overrated crap unless you're an americunt. Also Seuss you dumbass.

>Roald Dahl

Aside for that witches thing, the rest is utter shit.

>comic books

At the age range we're dealing with in this thread, I doubt people were reading Uber or fucking Lee - Mickey Mouse at most.

>not even 1 Mein Kampf

Nice bait m8.

I feel the same way about Twain. Dude is racist, pedarast, and homo

The same goes for Dickens
His descriptions of the setting in Oliver Twist, the ghosts of christmas, and David Copperfeild where really good. But does he really need HUNDREDS of iterations of the same 3 books just because Muh Victorian era?

>>91860365
Dickens was good in a way that, he managed to excel as a writer back then financially wise by inventing the first string of cliffhangers. I'll give it to him there, that's crafty when your common man is out in the streets.

Kek, I was almost mad.

>>91860250
Oh man, I loved this series

>>91860395
You make it sound like he was the first.
What about Lincoln? He was drawing in crowds 4 years before Dicken's wrote his first hit.
My problem isn't with Dickens. He was pretty based. My problem is that each year we get advertisements for a new take on A Christmas Carol or a rehash of Great Expectations.
Going back to the Lincoln thing, I'd don't see them making 23 versions of the Last Public Adress (the one that triggered John Wilkes Booth)

Besides I did give reasons for not liking them. What? Did you want examples? Read a book? It's not like I said Poe, or Hemingway, or, if you think I'm being unAmerican, Steinbeck.

>>91860751
For Twain you did nothing but slander his character. How is that a reason for disliking his writing?

Holy shit I'm the anon you're replying to and I had an entire bookcase just for that series. It was absolutely addicting. But then at one point, I had caught up with the latest one, and while I was waiting for the next book to come out, I completely forgot about it. I am curious to know what happened, but I've forgotten the story and I just can't read all of that again.

This though. This was my jam.
