I lost count how many times I read those books as a kid

There was a science fiction author I read when I was a kid and I can never remember his name or find his books on google.

One series of books was about some sort of space soldier who becomes almost invincible after some mysterious people replace his skeleton with an extremely strong metal

The other series was about a bunch of kids travelling across a succession of alien planets

Gosh you guys read so little you can remember all the books you read?

I only remember "Fungus the Bogeyman" and "Green Eggs and Ham" because those where the books we fought over at school when we had to do "quiet" reading. (Also know as the teacher is really pissed off with the class and life in general.) Though if you had "Fungus the Bogeyman" your table normally got in trouble due to sitting there laughing at the pictures.

Straying off topic, but I'd be interested to know the name of the TV series I used to watch as a kid in Germany. I was really young so am foggy about details, but the main theme was that a chap would swallow a pill that would make him invincible for a short period.

Must have read thousands of books but many stand out as exceptional especially from the formative years. I didn't read many children's books as a child but some that I did are readable now as an adult as the best should be. From time to time I like to revisit books I read as a child and perhaps get more reading them a second time.

Some book in a series that I haven't read I'll keep on ice till retirement deferring the pleasure.

Favourites were a couple of books by "BB" called Down the Bright Stream & Little Grey Men; about gnomes but loads of factual wildlife stuff in there too. He also wrote Brendan Chase which was one of my favourite TV programmes as a kid.

Dunno if anyone's mentioned this one but I can't be arsed reading the thread...

When a kid in the mid sixties at Clarendon street primary school in Bolton we read a story about a 'black sambo' who turned tigers into butter by making them run around him in circle dead fast.

I find it very insulting, no way can you make butter out of tigers...

That rings a bell. Was it a book?
