This is a really weird list of books.
March 16, 2007 at 8:08 am
What kind of childhood did you have, woman? NO Anne or Jo March? I just cannot comprehend.
March 16, 2007 at 8:18 am
[...] got this from Eden @ So Anyway, who got it from Venessa, who got it from Jeff (or was it the other way around?) Take the list [...]

I think I need to put a list together for nonfiction books…one of these days.
March 16, 2007 at 10:08 am
I didn’t like it only being fiction, since I mostly read non fiction.
March 16, 2007 at 10:10 am
It is weird. There are a lot of Harry Potter books. I think one would have been sufficient. There’s a lot of pop culture kind of books. Certain authors are repeated a little too much, etc. That’s why I found it appealing.
I had a copy of Little Women, adapted for kids, and could never get into it. I got a copy last Christmas so it’s on my immediate list. I also got a copy of Anne of Green Gables for Christmas and some others. I got Hawk The Count of Monte Cristo so we’ll both be reading that. The last new-to-me classic I finished was Kidnapped.
I think it’s funny that among these works of fiction was The Bible.

Thank god there’s another adult who likes Harry Potter…I was beginning to think that I was hopelessly juvenile.

“I think it’s funny that among these works of fiction was The Bible.”
Like my mom always says, “great minds think alike.”
March 16, 2007 at 1:42 pm
The stories are lovely, violent, fascinating, etc. I just don’t think most of them are true. I don’t think we’re supposed to think they’re true either. That’s not the purpose of the stories: to record historical fact. They’re entertainment, parables, cautionary tales, etc. I find them much more enjoyable from a secular POV.
And yeah Heather. I’ve read each at least twice (and #3 probably 5 times at least). You, me & fredlet.
