I really liked it! The begining was the best! Except, unless you want to get creeped out (pg. 38ish) don't read it at night! Although it made the book a ton better. The middle half was really rather boring, but I finished it.

It would be good read aloud though. Maybe I'll read that to the sibs after I finish David Balfour.

P'raps it'll be better when dad reads it aloud. What did he write? The guy you dunno if he wrote classics. *blushes at weird sentence* Just realized I spelled Frankenstein wrong the first time. Begging y'all's pardon!

I've been wanting to read some, but I don't know where to start! Theres sooo many</blockquote> Treasure Island, Around the World in 80 Days, and Pilgrim's Progress are some of my favorite classics. Are Joseph A.

I thought Frankenstein was b-o-r-i-n-g and just plain weird. While I enjoyed Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Go figure.

Anne of Green Gables, The Count of Monte Cristo and A Little Princess were all verra good...funny, I didn't like The Seceret Garden nearly as much! Lost Horizon (except for the ending) was boring; Heart of Darkness stank, The Illiad was ok but The Odyssey, ugh! I couldn't even finish it; Green Mansions was sad but pretty, The Hound of the Baskervilles was spooky and delicious, The Wind in the Willows was so dreadfully eleborate that we almost stopped reading it aloud but are now quite glad we didn't, and Around the World in 80 Days is like that and much better then 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which I am now working on. Ben-Hur wasn't as good as The Robe, Great Expectations was meloncholy but worth the effort to read, A Christmas Carol should be read by everyone, and I'll post back later when I have consulted my Archives!!!!!!

Not Moby Dick. Skip that one. <img src="http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":-P" class="bb_smilies" /> A Christmas Carol is good. Treasure Island. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. (Any, though as with all serials, there are better ones and worse ones. Plus, some of them have some 19th century drug abuse, so be careful.) Nothing else comes to mind right now. I'll browse my shelves later and come back. <img src="http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> monkeygal693 on "Classics :)" http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/classics/page/2#post-1638 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 20:02:47 +0000 monkeygal693 1638@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ what are everyones favorite classics?
