Enjoyed reading your lists. I was saddened by the reality that I probably read fewer than 10 of these books. As a boy. I was more into Hardy Boy stories and John Tunis sports stories. On an interesting side note, one of my high school English teachers was Lew Wallace, a great great grandson of Lew Wallace, the author of Ben Hur.
I had not read a lot of these until I became a parent, so I can relate. Still, never too late to enjoy a good book. And to paraphrase C. S. Lewis, if it's worth reading as a child, then its worth reading as an adult as well.

That’s a great anecdote!
