What books did you read while in school? Were there any that you particular liked, or even hated? Did any become lifelong favourites?
I read mostly fiction when I was in school, so I guess this is the reason I've had a life-long addiction to fiction reading. Some of my favorites in school were:A Wrinkle in Time
The Betsy Books (B is for Betsy, Betsy's Little Star, etc.)
The Trixie Belden series
The Wizard of Oz series (the original books by Frank L. Baum)
Alice in Wonderland
Through the Looking Glass
Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret
The Three Investigators series
Little Women
The Lord of the Rings series
Most of these books I still love as an adult. When my girls were younger, these are the first books I bought for them, and although they may not still enjoy them now, they still hold a place in my heart.

I still own the copy of A Wrinkle in Time (along with the 2 that follow) that I read when I was a child. It's held together with tape and love :O)
When I was growing up, my mom had her original copies of the Trixie Beldon series and I read them all! Loved them!
In fact I loved all the books on your list except (because I haven't read them, lol) The Betsy Books and The Three Investigators series.
I definitely think younger reading is where it all starts. Here's my link: http://thecrowdedleaf.wordpress.com/
The only book I remember really is The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Here is mine
I seemed to have missed a lot of those children classics, like Alice and Oz ...but I have to agree on Tolkien...all Tolkien.
I can't believe that I got rid of my copies of my childhood favorites. What was I thinking?
