Old Enid and was mesmerised as a child. I went to school being able to read purely because of Blyton and possibly the Hobbit.
Wishing Chair and the faraway tree were my absolute favourites. I too have a bookcase full of hardback originals. I wish I'd kept the ones from my childhood instead of spending a fortune buying them now I understand the importance of property.

They have gone up the tree and now the world is moving on and they may never get back down...again!

English literature class at my new grammar school ( I was just 12 ). We were told it would be Tolkien's 'Hobbit' that year so I turned up with my own cloth-eared copy and was able to read almost verbatim without reference when called upon. Boy, I was one unpopular cunt in my first years of school.

Edit: This is pretty fucking pointless if you don't chase me, spoilsport.

I learned to read before I started school and had worked my way through all but the simplest of their books. I still wasn't allowed to take my own books in though.
Twunts :(
I remember doing a school assembly where I took all my Blyton books in, and even a report when I first started high school

i could read them in 5 minutes. there was nothing that made me laugh more than seeing a kid having to bookmark the page they were up to at the end of the day!

learning about 'odes' and composition in primary school. ( I was about 11 ) and after one night where I kind of sleepily composed a story about a boy who had his arm ripped off by a lion on a trip to the zoo I sat down and wrote it. My teachers were amazed by it ( I wish I still had that as well as my short story 'Bonzer Bill and the return of the passing yutipolker '). So much so that it was printed large and made into a framed poster that all could see in the vestibule of the school.
Oh I was an unpopular cunt in my last days of primary school.

I learned to read with those books, I read them more times than any other book I owned (or have done yet I suspect!)
I too lost them to childhood and not realising the value* of what I had
*I don't mean financial, I have no idea what they'd cost now
