In elementary school I devored all the "Secret Seven" books I could find. They had many of them in the public library in my small town in Kentucky. Those books and the ones in the "Three Investigators" series were my favorites. But I had never heard of her "Five..." books until much later.
Oliver Sacks writes some of the most fascinating non-fiction books around. He's a neurologist who writes about some of his more unusual cases and often their spiritual dimensions. His book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat is a goo dtarting point. My one complaint about Sacks is that he always has all these footnotes at the bottom of each page, and I can't resist reading them.
