I am hoping to restart our "classics challenge" here at the house, and you've given me several to choose from (sometimes, the list is soooooo overwhelming I don't know where to begin.) Many of them we have on our bookshelves already, but I've just never picked them up.Ouizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377634340650234707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22626315.post-31817744491935244922008-08-07T07:39:00.000-05:002008-08-07T07:39:00.000-05:00Can I make a few suggestions?Animal Farm - George ...Can I make a few suggestions?<BR/><BR/>Animal Farm - George Orwell<BR/><BR/>Amazing book. Had to read it in school and liked it even then. Now it's even more poignant.<BR/><BR/>Lord of the Flies - William Golding<BR/><BR/>Another one I had to read for school and ended up loving. Brisk pace keeps younger readers engaged and I learned a lot about the human capacity for barbarism when anarchy reigns.<BR/><BR/>Dune - Frank Herbert<BR/>Call me a nerd but I loved this book.<BR/><BR/>Dracula - Bram Stoker<BR/>Absolutely brilliant. <BR/><BR/>Notes From A Small Island - Bill Bryson<BR/>American author leaving England after living there for years and decides to take one more lap around England. Very very funny.<BR/><BR/>A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole<BR/><BR/>Another brilliantly funny book. To tell you anything about it would spoil it.The Last Ephorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546829944086243794noreply@blogger.com
