Fifty Years of Loving Books

I started making a proper list of books I'd read in 2004, but I've loved reading since I was seven (I read "Five Go To Kirrin Island" five times during a two-week holiday). I tried to mix up the genres, but have forgotten lots of the books I read early on. I'll be fascinated to find out which ones you've read too.
