Hey, why are you talking about the boys all the time?! Girls read books too (well, I did ).
Dumas, M.Twain, Jack London, G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle and about a dozen of other authors were the usual reading diet of every soviet kid. If you never read "The Three Musketeers" or "White Fang" you were considered some kind of freak.
