Too many to list, but I especially enjoyed the science fiction of Robert Heinlein and the fantasies of J.R.R. Tolkein.

 

[Grumpyolman]

To Kill a Mockingbird. I hear it's banned in some places. How sad. Now I think I'll go bust up a chiffarobe. In Alabama. From the mud to the stars.

All of Tolkien. Asimov. Heinlein. E.E. Doc Smith. All of those were under my belt by the time I was 12 or so.

A little older- Jules Verne, Zane Grey, Tolkein, Heinlein, Asimov, H.G. Wells, Orwell.

Many. For a while I read everything with horses, starting with The Black Stallion.

A teen girl has some paralysis after polio. She plans to get a scholarship by winning a cross country horse race to get an athletic credential. But then the rider who would have probably finished second gets a snakebite so she rides for help instead of finishing the race. I don't remember the title. I keep thinking Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, but that's a different story.
