When I was really young, Magic Tree House. I read The Hobbit at some point. I also skimmed the first four Harry Potter books so fast I didn't even understand anything. I just wanted to brag I read those "really long books". Odd because I didn't do that with The Hobbit or Series of Unfortunate Events.

I remember reading those Deltora Quest books on the floor of the bookstore whenever a new one would come out. I'd just go in and finish the flimsy things in one sitting. Im surprised the clerks didn't kick my ass.

i had/have autism so in grade school i mostly read non-fic. trivia books (guinness word records; 1001 awesome facts, animal world-facts), info on diff civilizations (went through phases, like vikings, then egyptians, then medieval europe, then greeks, then dinosaurs), encyclopedias, my grandparent's back-catalogue of national geo magazines. literally the only fiction books i read were goosebumps, the hobbit, and harry potter.

i gave up on reading all together when i was 10 and found video games. didn't come back to it until my second year of uni.

I read Dilbert comics obsessively even though I didn't understand the jokes, I would ask my dad what they meant every 15 seconds

I even read a couple of Scott Adams' books when I was 11

My favourite book of elementary was Ender's Game.
My favourite book of middle school was The Forever War.

I don't really have a favourite book now.

I was big into the Redwall series, Hatchet and some other "boys surviving in the wild" type books. I think I read The Hobbit in grade five. I loved the Narnia series. And I remember reading Harry Potter before any of the other kids in my class knew about it.

In gradeschool, I got really into Clive Cussler novels. I still hold a soft spot for them. It kindled my love of adventure novels.

>So, there we were. The five of us - Marco, Tobias, Rachel, Cassie, and me. Five normal mallrats heading home.
Sometimes I think about that one, last moment when we were still just normal kids. It's like it was a million years ago, like it was some totally different group of kids. You know what I was afraid of right then? I was afraid of admitting to Tom that I hadn't made the team. That was as scary as life got back then. Five minutes later, life got a lot scarier.

This and a lot of other things already mentioned in this thread. Read them all, plus the side stories.
