I remember two books from that time period on your list that I read, the Island of the Blue Dolphins and The Outsiders. At this point I don't remember much about them but I remember that I loved them!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947271410329103836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-34938623083369219312011-04-06T19:55:15.225-07:002011-04-06T19:55:15.225-07:00@Stephanie: Yeah, I think we did To Kill a Mocking...@Stephanie: Yeah, I think we did To Kill a Mockingbird to death in Grade 9 (pun intended :D) - I would likely have appreciated it more if I hadn't been made to study it so intensively.

I did think they had some of the weirdest names ever from what I've heard (Ponyboy? What?)...but if they're hot, I guess I can overlook that... ;) And I didn't realize you were such an 80's fan! :Ddanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-20581164515222343442011-04-05T18:06:38.044-07:002011-04-05T18:06:38.044-07:00I enjoyed The Outsiders.

Of course I also read <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6439131-the-outsiders" rel="nofollow">this edition</a>, so I may have been influenced by the mega-hot eye candy on the cover. (or, ok, they were mega-hot when I read it in middle school and the other book covers I had around to compare were The Pigman and To Kill a Mockingbird, so, yeah). <br /><br />If you won't read the book though, at least watch the movie. It's filled with funny '80's acting, but it's also filled with hot 80's guys ;) <br /><br />Basically what I'm getting at here is that The Outsiders = Hot guys (with the weirdest names ever) Is that incentive enough? <br /><br />You would also then be able to go around telling people to "Stay gold." But I think I've just exposed myself as a huge superficial 80's dork, so I'll stop now :)Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-59180331439033641122011-04-05T16:09:06.602-07:002011-04-05T16:09:06.602-07:00@Meg: I haven't read A Wrinkle in Time in so l...@Meg: I haven't read A Wrinkle in Time in so long...perhaps I should re-read it too!

I just re-read A Wrinkle in Time a few months ago. I had read it when I was probably in elementary school but I didn't realize that it was only the first in a series of books!

It's one of those books that sinks in and just... changes the way you view things. <br /><br />I've read quite a few of the others you mentioned, and have a bunch more on my tbr.<br /><br />I seriously love these posts, btw.
