Yup, when I was a kid we still read actuall books, and not on the internet either. The real paper type, with real pages and such. Great stuff!!

They're right, Nancy Drew was the female equivilant of Hardy Boys but if you're trying to buy a gift for a little girl or something, check out the Trixie Beldon books, if you can find any. Better books altogether, same era, aimed at the same age, and still mystery.

Actually, I was talking to my gf, and she mentioned those books, and that reminded me of Nancy Drew, although I couldn't remember the name (never read them, I read the Hardy Boys).

Gnote - We're not THAT old

Scarily enough I have a bunch of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books somewhere that I used to read when I was a kid.

I'm only 24, and I read almost 60 of the Hardy boy's series of books. Franklin W. Dixon. Even if that wasn't really the guy's name. I think I remember hearing that the same person wrote both the Hardy Boys and the Nancy Drew series of books. When I was even younger than that, I read some of the Bobbsey twins books, didn't like them that much.

If you happen across some of the really old Nancy Drew books they are really wacky. They kept updating the stories when they re-released them, but in the beginning she had servants and fussed about wearing white gloves and all that, and they were incredibly racist and sexist. Same basic plot lines in the updates but changed for the times. I bet if they are still releasing them they have Bin Laden and the internet in them by now.

I was forced to read one of those. It was heinous -- like the Olsen Twins solving a murder mystery. The main thing I remember is that they were constanly eating, and the author felt the need to elaborate each meal :disgust:

<---raises hand

I've read one of them and not sure if they made any more. It was a good read though, liked it better than the hardy boys series which I read most of. The library was just really small and crappy when I was a kid and I probably read like half of the fiction and a few of the non-fiction.

 

[Drekce]

I read all of the hardy boys books. Man I loved those things.

How many of you guys remember the Nancy Drew TV show with Pamela Sue Martin? Boy, I remember having such a "thing" for her. I also remember her posing for Playboy and really wanting to see that issue (I never got to see it...)

heck yeah!! I read every one of those books my library had in stock

Hardy Boys were great. Fat boy Chet was always getting into trouble.

 

[slag]

lol. Whenever they introduced chet for the first time in each book, he was always driving his old Jalopy.

Remember that?

Anyway, while I am a healthy hetersexual married man, I always preferred the Nancy Drew books to the Hardy Boys books. This is probably because I have no brothers and 5 sisters and as such, never found out about the Hardy Boys books until several years after I read all of the nancy drew books.

Didn't he die in one of the books? I don't remember. I used to love those books.
