Default Encyclopedia Brown gets an update...
to Wikipedia Brown.



Growing up, I always enjoyed reading Encyclopedia Brown and The Three Investigators.

I'd like to see a bare-knuckle fight between Encyclopedia Brown and Harry Potter.

I used to love reading those books when I was a kid, but the one story that was in the link- I had it figured out in seconds. Were they really all that easy?

Did you read all the way to the end? I almost stopped at the answer, but then noticed there were a few more pages. If you know who Colt Brown is, then you did read to the end.

And I haven't read one in years, so I'm not sure if they were all that easy. I don't think they were that, but then again, I'm not 12 years old anymore.

I can still remember 2 of the stories, one because even with the answer I didn't agree with it.

Some of my favorite stories as a kid too. Haven't heard that name in forever though.

My mom kept all my books so I'm sure I have a few of these books around.
