How many of your friends read Hardy Boys?

SDLagent · August 14, 2008, 04:20:57 AM

This thread was inspired by some discussion in the "#20 Feeding Frenzy" topic, about how little people know about the current Hardy Boys series, so the question(s) is...

How many people do you know who currently read the Hardy Boys, and out of those people how many read a current series?

The thread is called "How many of your friends read Hardy Boys?'' but doesn't have to be your friends, can be anybody you have met.

Other than you guys I only know one, but then agin reading is not exactly the cool thing at my school.

None that I know. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, none of my friends are big readers.

Haha n_zone! I got you beat. Britney Spears, my bff, is reading the HB:UB for therapy

mystery chick - 8 people? Wow.

My dad used to read them all the time to the class back in the day. Now, if I find a particular good story from any of the series (Originals, Digests, Casefiles, UB, whatever) I pass it onto him. I guess I'm his weeder. Or tester. W/E

I few family members read it and a few other people, but those were only the originals. I had a friend who read all of them, and we loaned books to each other. Several years later, he's kinda of gorwn out of them (Literaly, he's at least 6 feet!). My cousin also reads them.

Only one person I know reads them, and my dad used to like to read the Classics when he was a kid.

Thats OK...

My brother reads them sometimes, but probably not as much as he used too. (He got me into the series) Anyway, he doesn't really read the UBs (he's only read Deprivation House so far, but he plans on reading the rest of the Murder House Trilogy.)

I know seval adults who have read the books, but gave them awyway, and they were all classics.

One day, me and a freind were digging through a cloest and found the Hardy Boy's ghost stories! He let me keep it.

I have convived another one of my freinds to read "Day Of The Dinosaur" and 2 nancy drew books, but she dosn't seem intrested.

Olivia · August 17, 2008, 06:57:38 PM

Do you mean "connived"? Either way, good luck convincing her

Maybe she'll like the HBs better, unless she's already reading them!

NZone · August 17, 2008, 06:58:06 PM

yeah, no one wants to read anymore.

I visit the Star Trek discussion board over at Simonsays.com and right now we've got someone over there who wants an answer about the ebook releases and doesn't want to write a letter and send it by the post-office after he's sent a couple of emails and made a couple of phone calls that went nowhere.
