Encyclopedia Brown!!! Great books for kids! I could never get my hands on enough of them. (Secretly still read as an adult.) They are like the training wheels for Sherlock Holmes. Teaching the kids to pay attention to what they are reading, look for clues, and problem solve.

I like Encyclopedia Brown too. When my little brother gets them from the library I steal them.

I haven't thought of Encyclopedia Brown in years - are there any new ones out?
(Thread Resurrection... sorry, y'all.)
Got another Dan Brown - Demons and Angels... tip: read it in the daytime.

Good grief....I haven't thought of Encyclopedia Brown in many years!! And when I was a little girl, I checked out as many Nancy Drew books as my school library held. I must admit, I've been an avid devourer of books since very early on...by 7th grade I had read the Hobbit and all of the LOTR books, almost the entire collection of Sherlock Holmes, *I had even tried War and Peace but at that age got really bored with it*

I've also read all of the "Cat Who..." mysteries...at one point I lived in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, where all the books are based. I spent a good bit of time trying to sort out in my head what place was based on what city, lol. *It's a big "consiparcy" in the "Cat Who..." world.* Personally though, I liked the "Mrs. Murphy Mysteries" series better, by Rita Mae Brown *of which I have read them all as well* *blush*

If no one can tell, I spend most of my time reading...I'm only 21 years old, lol *blush*

I like the cat who books too. Have you read any of the Midnight Louise books by Carole Nelson Douglass? They feature cats too.

Angels and Demons is the first of the Da Vinci code books- even though I didn't find it AS good as Da Vinci Code, I still think you need to read Angels and Demons first to get a good feel of the character.
And Deception Point, also by Brown, is great! But we also talked about this on another thread.
I used to devour Encyclopedia Brown and Trixie Beldon. I just found all my old Beldon books- the original ones, not the "new" series. Honey and Jim and Bobby- Bobwhites of the Glen.

Wow. Sorry. Such fond memories of my childhood, though. I'm finding Jim Patterson to be a great author- plus, he's featured a local radio station and d.j. to my area in two of his books, which I found to be amusing.

Yeah, I like Midnight Louie, he's one cool cat ;) But my fave out of all of them is the Mrs. Murphy books :)

Sadly, I don't read too many mysteries.

The Cat in the Hat was good, though!

;)

You should really pick a copy up!

Ooh - just found my old One Minute Mysteries with Dr. Haledjian.

Is it just me, or does Brown have way too much gory fun with religious people? (Don't answer that, I know it's on the verge of controversial.)

I haven't been to the boards that often lately, Faeryshan - what thread is it?

Haven't read any Cat books either, Hat or otherwise...

And Aislin - there ain't nothin' wrong with devouring a good book (with a side of Lady Grey and egg cookies... or pizza and beer...).
