I probably read a good part of that too - mostly by Enid Blyton. The Magic Faraway Tree stories, then Famous Five - I was never really into Secret Seven.
I don't even remember what all I read...Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and the Sword in the Stone definitely made appearances (yeah, I actually read the books, as opposed to just settling for the movies ;)), as did Julie Andrews' two or three books. I know there were more, though.
I never read any of the similar American stuff like The Hardy Boys.
Oh, I loved Nancy Drew. Not the modernized ones, but the old ones from 1950 or whenever they were. Not so much Hardy Boys, although I remember reading the ones where they teamed up with Nancy. I always shipped for the older Hardy boy and ND. ;) I went through all the Boxcar Children books, too, and then made my way over to Agatha Christie when I was nine or ten. I think I'm gonna end up as Miss Marple.
At one point Magician by Raymone E Feist was considered one of the epic fantasy novels. Certainly it, along with Silverthorn and A Prince of the Blood, are an epic trilogy. While he has written other books, none of them quite are up to the level of those three.
Ooooh. Actually, I think my mom has Magician. Must read when I finish these library books...
