Great books and although my tastes changed, I enjoyed them as much at the time I read them as I did when reading Anna Karenina years later.
I did read thre ahrdy boys, btw, and Jupiter Jones was much much better.

Jupiter Jones rocks. The Three Investigators rock. I loved those books.
I also read The Great Brain books, and Encyclopedia Brown. My girls recently got some Encylopedia Brown books from the library. I remember as a kid being amazed at how he figured stuff out but when I read them now the answers aren't nearly as amazing and are often quite silly.
