I actually thought about making a thread about this awhile back, and it crossed my mind too right before i saw MF comment on it

but these books really were genius....my mom used to run the library in our town, and like 2 years ago i was having to help do something there and there was some down time...i sought out one of the wayside books, and read about half of it, and i, um, still enjoyed it

discuss

This was the greatest book of my childhood:

Thanks for making this thread a reality leonard.

Wow, I totally forgot about those books. Yeah, they where really good, I might have to go search for them when I get back home. Favorite story, Paul and the pig-tails.

This was high class literature

if all of us RMers were in the same school it'd be just like Wayside

I remember the first one was called "Sideways Stories From Wayside School," right?

I remember the weirdest details about some of the stories.

Like there was no 19th story on the school or something, it was somehow missing...and the teacher's name was Miss Jarvis I think? Then in one of the stories one of the kids gets sent there, but he can never find his way back.

Then there was a story about how one of the kids was getting a tattoo, and all the kids gave him ideas. He ended up getting a patato on his leg.

Then there was a story about how they finally put elevators in the school (it was 30 stories tall, of course), and one was made to only go up and one was made only to go down. So after one load of kids went each way, they were never used again.

Great, great, great kids books. I hope to get copies of them for my children someday.

I remember that one

these books are seriously genius..did that guy write anything else besides this series?

Didn't he write that book "Holes" that got made into a movie?

I only remember because I would laugh hysterically at the commercials...come on..."holes."

yeah that does seem like it's right...never read that or seen the movie though

i guess i could look the dude up on amazon or something

i luv OSE books

Great call...

These books were great. I wonder if I can track them down in my attic.

yeah that does seem like it's right...never read that or seen the movie though



read holes. my favorite book up until about 7th grade when i got my obsession for harry potter

great books, team..we shoud all reread them and discuss them here

Hi, I'm DJ.

I'm pretty sure I still have them all in my parents basement. If i can find them, we should have a group reading session. All the children of RM could gather at my feet and i could regale them with the hijinx of the kids of Wayside School.

it'd beat reading RM

I loved these books. They were right up there with Goosebumps.

will someone buy these for me?
