I would pretty much read anything I could get my hands on when I was young, but looking back I can see that a lot of it was "boy's books". For example I read all of the C.S. Forrester Hornblower and Alexander Kent Bolitho books that my two brothers got (as well as the Gunilla Bergström Kulla-Gulla and Anne of Green Gables (and kindred) by L.M. Montgomery that my sister and I got). Since you are a fellow Scandinavian, did you ever come across Leif Hamre? He wrote "boy's books" about flying, that I really loved when I was young. I found some in a second hand bookshop a few years ago, and they are still good.

The only Danish book I am sure I have read is Fröken Smillas känsla för snö and I am afraid I read that in Swedish. There was also a novel that I read which was very good about the escape of the Danish Jews in WWII, but I can't remember the author now.
