I'm kind of scared that I knew who wrote the Boxcar Children.

And don't diss them too much; they were my first mystery series (not that that matters anymore, since I've developed a particular distaste for mysteries)!

The Bobsey who??

Boxcar Children all the way.

Those were some of the first books I read way back in the day. I still remember waiting for the next ones in the series to come out.

Ehhh, the Boxcar Children were okay. I always liked Nancy Drew and the Three Investigators better.

I'll tell you what was really good--the Black Stallion series by Walter Farley.

Stephen King

His Dark Tower series is the Lord of the Rings for a new generation...maybe better (yes Tolkien blasphemy...I know), certainly more epic.

Of course he isn't the only author I've read but I've never read almost the entire catalogue of another author's work.

Lewis and Tolkien...for obvious reasons, they are awesome.

And I'm also into mystery, so here's my favorite mystery authors.

Nero Blanc...their stories (it's a husband and wife who write together) are very good, and they also write crossword puzzles, and they incorperate them into their stories. It's very interesting.

Marian Babson...she's a good writer, and almost all of her books in some way involve a cat, which makes the books somewhat humerous. If anyone's read the Westing Game (can't remember who wrote it), they would probably like her book the Company of Cats.

The Hardy Boys series was written by a Canadian named Leslie Charles McFarlane, who went by the pen name Franklin W. Dixon. He died in 1977 in Whitby, Ontario. The rights to the Dixon name and Hardy Boys series were bought by Applewood books in 1991, who then began publishing "The New Hardy Boys" series, which I completely hated. They were dumbed down for kids whi didn't have the attention span and literary skills to read through the original books. The series was then sold to Smithmark Publishing, who tried several different ideas to modernise the classic novels, and went bankrupt in the process. Serves 'em right for trying to mess with a good thing!

Incidently, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Tom Swift and the Rover Boys were all created by Edward Stratemayer, who hired various authors to write them. Stratemayer died in 1930 at the age of 68.

Just some Hardy trivia for you
