LOL I read Sense & Sensibility as a teenager and it was a page turner too, so give Jane Austen a second chance. Also, I just really love Charles Dickens, his books can be hard sometimes, but the stories are sooo good that it is worth it. I really liked David Copperfield. Also, and I haven't read these books since, but in High School I really loved Crime & Punishment and Dante's Inferno.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692897932694365285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-58061228344816103422013-01-04T17:20:45.428-08:002013-01-04T17:20:45.428-08:00@Vid: I thought he scaled the wall to get out, ju...@Vid: I thought he scaled the wall to get out, just like he did to go to the Count's room. Yea, it was vague though.<br /><br />@Shackman: I do want to read FRankenstein soon. THanks for reminding me! <br /><br />@Maria: Yes, I LOVE the way he talked! I'm reading Wuthering Heights now, but the "cockney" in that book is a little harder for me to understand. It still makes it more interesting. :)<br /><br />@Nene: I can't remember if I have read Les Miserables before. Now that I've seen movies of it, I can't remember if I read it. Maybe I'll read that next. So my queue so far is Les Miserables, and Frankenstein. :)Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-19532008829198602012013-01-04T15:52:21.722-08:002013-01-04T15:52:21.722-08:00If you haven't read The Book Thief yet, it is ...If you haven't read The Book Thief yet, it is a must for reading - one of my favorites! Here's some others I have read that I really liked: The Christmas Sweater, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, The Help, The Forgotten Garden, The Education of Little Tree, Mrs. Aris Goes to Paris (an old one, don't know if you can find it-a very quick read). If you want a classic - my favorite classic is Les Miserables! Hang in there if you read it cause Victor Hugo was being paid by the word I think. :0) He has some profound thoughts and quotes in there. I've read it 3 times and have decided the next time I read it I'll read it with a highlighter. :0PNenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847303868378288229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-20769851981922820372013-01-04T10:10:35.881-08:002013-01-04T10:10:35.881-08:00'Great Expectations is a great favourite of mi...'Great Expectations is a great favourite of mine, as you might say if you were that way inclined.
