What's a book—or series of books—that you loved as a kid that almost nobody seems to read or even remember nowadays?

I read and still have 31 of the 33 books.

Tis the season of death. I won't be merry. On the anniversary of the twenty six shot in Newtown, CT, I hear about two at Brown university and eleven on Bondi Beach in Australia plus all those wounded and maimed. All by a gun.

That we have become inured to these routine deaths disgusts me.

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Both my parents were children of the depression and lived through rationing during WWII. The hash we had always varied. Potatoes by half and whatever was available. To this day, my favorite is corned beef (what you call salt beef, I believe), always with an egg. Yours looks scrumptious.

From The Old Man's Legacy first draft WIP. This snippet seems fitting.

I normally celebrate the completion of a story with a root beer ice cream float. A treat connected to a fond childhood memory. However it's 36° outside, I'm dressed in three layers of fleece dragging an electric blanket with a ridiculously long extension cord, so instead, I bought myself a zeppole.

My current Minecraft world. Single-player, adventure / no mods. So no vampires. Working on making it 10X10. All the builds in each map are connected via a rail system, both above and mostly underground.

It most certainly did. I never recovered. Still waiting 😄👴
