Books That Defined My Childhood & Early Adulthood

These are the books take me back to that magical place and time of discovering what it's like to lose one's self in imagination. Some of these my parents read to me when I was very young child (they were avid readers and instilled that value in me), and when I was older I borrowed books from the library or bookmobile or bought them with babysitting money (the vast majority of my babysitting money went to books!). They are vaguely ordered from earliest read to latest.
