standing on a star unstable

I'm examining my experiences reading the Newbery list winners/honorees, trying to dissect how I read things as a child, and how that differs from reading as an adult.

Newbery Post I
Newbery Post II


( 1960s )

( 1950s )

If this becomes a meme, it's not going to be one of those "Star this, bold that" ones. I want to address the Newbery winners and honor books that I have consumed as a reader. I want to discuss the ones I read as a kid, and the ones I read as an adult, and the ones I've read in both modes, and see how my opinions have changed. I suspect I will not do this all at one blow.

( 1920s )

So, this may be a bad experiment, since I guess everything I read pre-1985, I don't actually remember? Or is it just the things I didn't really love?
