Books Read as a Child

This is a list of some of the books that I remember reading when I was a child. You will find adult books mixed in because I was a strange child and read most anything that was available to me. I believe I was twelve when I read Atlas Shrugged and about the same age when I first encountered The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
