Who still reads children's books?

Does anyone ever re-read their childhood favourites? I won't part with my full set of Chalet School books or my Narnia books and have re-read both as an adult. I also still have most of the Lorna Hill ballet stories (lent a couple to a niece who lost them). Also kept the Jinny/Shantih horse stories until another niece borrowed them (must get those back!). DH thinks I'm mad to read them as an adult - he wouldn't even read Harry Potter. Assure me I'm not alone!!

I'm re-reading lots of DDs now as I re-buy them() for her - loved the Swish of the Curtain, am currently on the Magic Wishing Tree, and will shortly be starting the St Clares boxed set that I bought for her the other day from the Book People. You're definitely not alone.
