The Stranger by Albert Camus
I’ll look it up 😉
Lord of the rings
Catcher in the Rye
I’ve read it and I was sort of disappointed because I’ve heard so much people saying it’s a good book to find it is a normal one. I probably should give it a second try.
Does s.e. Hinton ‘s the outsiders and that was then this now count and the great gatsby and Julius ceasar
Atlas Shrugged and The Taming of the Shrew.
I find taming of the shrew funny and in a way deragatory to women because some men are shrewed but women aren’t held responsible to “tame” them.
Jane Eyre
To Kill a Mockingbird
Lord of the flies
Wuthering Heights
Never really read a classic that I found worth saying it was my favorite. I did just but I book of classic short stories though so maybe it will provide me with a good store.
Frankenstein
Definitely I need to read that one!
Little women, Little men, Tom Sawyer, Oliver twist .. can we include child hood books, like the magic porridge pot, and hansle and gretel, ugly duckling and so on, i had soooo many classic kids books, Dad brought me up to love to read, and respect books 🙂 .. Only thing you ever write in is a diary or you’re name in a book. 😀
I need to read little women because I hear enough good reactions to it lol
So far…….Little Women. I have been starting to read more classics inbetween my favorites. 🙂
To Kill A Mockingbird
“Crime and Punishment” F. M. Dostoyevsky .
I love that book! Have you read The Brothers Karamazev?
@Mekdad No, I didn’t. 🙁
Me nietger, it’s a big book, I’ve bought because it is the author’s masterpiece and I loved crime and punishment but I’m holding on to it due to its length lol
@Mekdad I don’t like reading book by the same author one after another… I am always waiting to forget a little bit of his style.
I understand

Mine is also Anne of Green Gables. Read my childhood paperback copy so many times it actually fell to pieces.

Really? I’ve read it after I’ve heard a good deal about it but I was a bit disappointed. I might have to read it again.

I’ve started reading it a month ago and I got to page 80 in the benguin classics version and I was confused. It was not an easy read, but I’ll give it another try
There are times I have cheated and watched the movie or gone on Wikipedia to help me understand certain books. This was not one of those books, but give it a try. ?

I love Eatonville. Have always gone to the Zora Neale Hurston festival every year. Native here so finding these gems are easy. We did the tour with my book club. We like to theme our meetings to get more out of our books.
