Oh wow-- so many amazing memories-- seems like you and I had a lot of the same favorite authors! Have you read anything by William Sleator? He's one of my favorites that I don't recall seeing on your list.

I have not had any time to get around to working on my own list yet. I have, however, been going through my LJ book entries and tagging any that contain kids or YA books with "Juvenile Literature." I have no idea whether you want to wade through all that, but if you're looking for ideas, you might check it out, since my book listings generally include a review/synopsis.
