Heh. I loved these back in the 70's, and remember them fondly. Along with Encyclopedia Brown, many of the Three Investigators books, and all of the Great Brain stories. Never got into Tom Swift particular, but I did read the Danny Dunn novels (Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine got me interested in computers) and The Many Inventions of Alvin Fernald.
- mindcrime 3y ago> but I did read the Danny Dunn novels (Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine got me interested in computers) Amazing. These[1] sound exactly like something that would have been up my alley, but I'd never even heard of this series until right now. I might just have to find some of them and go back and read them now. Wonder how they hold up for reading by an adult in our times? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Dunn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Dunn
- dekhn 3y agoI just went back and skimmed "Danny Dunn and the Anti-Gravity Paint", I think it's worth reading that one, but it would be a lot more fun to read to a kid than to read on your own (the writing level is clearly for kids).
