Anyone here ever a fan of the Hardy Boys series?

My favorites were Hunting for Hidden Gold, The Haunted Fort, and The Sign of the Crooked Arrow.

I reread one, (The Haunted Fort), about a year ago, it was stale and dated and not very enjoyable.......however when I was young lad I thought the Hardy Boys mysteries were the cats meow!!!! I still have 22 old dusty and musty books on the shelves......

....talk amongst yourselves

I must have read or had 3/4 of The Hardy Boys books but I don't know what became of them,it was a great reat when you were 10 or 12. My sister had all the Nancy Drew mysteries.

I guess most of my youth was misspent as I always seemed to gravitate to Kipling, London, and Zane Grey -- if I wasn't tinkering with my BSA 441, plinking out at the bluffs with my .22, or preparing for a career in medicine by studying human anatomy via the girl next door.



I do recollect a serialized set of books featuring "The Rover Boys".

It seems that we all had "a girl next door"-I practiced gynecology LOL.

I was really into mysteries when I was around 10, and I read a lot of Nancy Drew books. I never read any Hardy Boys though, but my brother did.

I'm just the opposite. I'm the sort of person who falls asleep with my text book open in my lap. But if it's a good story I literally can't put it down until I'm finished. Which is why I never start reading a book at night. I wish I could focus better on non-fiction, non-music related books. I don't really have a choice anymore, I have to for school.

Do you mean the Wrestlers from North Carolina; or the detectives from the 1920’s..dime store novels?

Not a big fan of either really

I'm a compulsive reader as the hundreds-perhaps thousands-of books around the house can attest.If I'm idle for just 5 minutes I have to pick up something to read-even a cereal box.

I have a bunch of the old hard cover books in my basement. I'm hoping to get my daughter to read them when she's just a little older.

The Hardy Boys series was what started me reading for pleasure. Also, my mother was a mystery nut but she liked Perry Mason. The books had to be updated over the years. When I was 9 years old, I had to ask my mother what "standing on the running board of the roadster" meant. It was an old, old library book. Owned a bunch of my own and passed them down to younger cousins.

I've never seen the South Park send up. I'm sure it was great.
