My favorites were books about magicians, circuses, "Peter Pan", "Little House on the Prairie", "Treasure Island", Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew. Also books about the Impressionist artists, historical figures  photography, drawing & painting, animals, nature, rocks and science facts & crafts. I was very curious and did a lot of reading.

A group of my friends would read the same books and we'd have fun acting them out, going on adventures.
