Chopin - I am not all that keen on holding with the women I already know and love. Getting me as your surrogate mommy would be a little like receiving a lung transplant from a smoker, or a liver from an alcoholic. But we could read the books together - from across the room and in separate chairs. I am trying to find Trixie Beldon, Biff Brewster and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. I have found the Happy Hollister mysteries. These are the silliest things ever. I inhaled these books from about 6-9 years old. Some were my mother's copies.

I also used to read some series about a british boy's school and one about 5 (I think) children in a village. I can't remember their names.
