Re: What books did you read?

I remember at primary school reading something like "Three Pirates" books. These were split up into Red, Green and Blue Pirates stories I think.
Also I vaguely remember a book with a Golden Griffin on the front. I think we read through these stories at our own pace.
Anyone else remember these?

At my infant school we used to read books about the village with three coreners. Some of the characters were Roger Red Hat, Jennifer Yellow Hat, Billy Blue Hat.

When I was a teenager i used to love The secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, by Sue Townsend I think.

At school I read ladybird books, Peter and Jane?, Topsy and Tim, and a book about a green dragon, Green Smoke, I think it was kool anyhow, and a bit later a reading, writing, english system called SRA, but no one seems to have heard of that.

As a teenager I moved on to Sci-fi and Horror any one remember "The Pan BooK(s) of Horror" some great stories in these often recited around a fire when camping. Also got into John Norman's Gor books. They have been in the news recently as inciting slavery and were banned in America for a while. Though when your 15/16 those issues never clicked, they were just a good read.
