The Idea of March

[Iwantcoffee]

The Great Gatsby

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Hobbit

[Still Raining]

Lord of the Flies has haunted me for years.  A must read.

The Naked Ape is also something to ponder.  Might read it again now.

Gone With the Wind is interesting to reread after 40 years or so.  It becomes a very different story with more life experience.

I see some activity going on Libby 🤣

East of Eden 

Sense and Sensibility (liked it better than Pride and Prejudice) 

The Canterbury Tales (surprised how much I liked it) 

Great Expectations

Tale of Two Cities

[Bookplate]

A Christmas Carol

Nicholas Nickleby

Great Expectations

David Copperfield (OK, its a little Dickens heavy!)

Howard's End

The Great Gatsby

Jane Eyre

The Catcher in the Rye

[Pittfanatic]

To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye are my two favorite books.  I read them every year.  Harper Lee was a brilliant writer.  JD Salinger's book about Holden Caulfield's struggle with grief over the death of his younger brother while he tries to deal with a world he feels is filled with people who are "phony" will always be relevant.

I also loved Rebecca and Desiree. And many more, lol.

  " The Old Man and the Sea" a  1952 novella by Ernest Hemingway  .

" The story explores themes of courage, defeat, perseverance, and dignity, using Hemingway's signature simple, powerful prose, and was instrumental in him winning the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. ."

There was a movie  made in 1958 from this novella story staring Spencer Tracy

" A Tale of Two  Cities "  by Charles Dickens

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known".
