I like to read anything that tells a good story, duh ;) Genre doesn't really matter much but I tend to read dark fiction and fantasy the most. I skip chick lit and romance novels with a few exceptions for the extraordinary.
My ratings system:
5 stars - ADORED; plan to read over and over and over.
4 stars - ENJOYED; will likely read once or twice more.
3 stars - LIKED; may or may not read again ... someday.
2 stars - MEH; no plans to read again.
1 stars - I didn't enjoy the story and was lucky to finish.
0 stars - I couldn't or wouldn't finish for reasons that may or may not be listed in the review box.
Collier's Junior Classics, Vol. 1, A B C Go!
Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Collier's Junior Classics were read to my sister and me every night for several months. Then I started reading it by myself, over and over and over. There was a large gap of time between my last read (around 12) and when I first read it to my daughter in 2000, but that gap only helped to remind me how much I loved those stories growing up. I'm holding onto this 10-volume set - the same set I've had all my life - so I can hand it down to my daughter to read to her kids someday.
