EASY ...

 

Little Women (top fav )

Secret Garden (2nd fav)

Railway Children(3rd fav )

 

Oh I didn't think of children's classics! That means I can make a list without having to list all the classics I've read :lol:

 

1. A Little Princess (I read this after The Secret Garden and much prefered it)

2. The Railway Children

3. Jane Eyre

The House of Mirth - Edith Wharton

A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens

Gone With the Wind - Margaret Mitchell

 

 

And I think Agnes Gray - Anne Bronte, will take the place of one of these. I just finished it and I loved it.

2. "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Couldn't have wished for a better companion while (long story...) forced to spend an inordinate amount of time locked in a spanish train bathroom to avoid ticket inspectors as a young traveller. Full of injustice and snippets of beauty in equal measure, this is stunning and affecting, not to mention one of the most believable potraits of womanhood ever written by a man - especially in the olden days.

 

 

This is our book circle at the moment, have you visited the thread?

Wuthering Heights - Bronte

The Picture Of Dorian Gray - Wilde

The Phantom Of The Opera - Leroux

 

They're my current favourites, but it does change.

 

I want to read Pride and Prejudice soon. I need to meet Mr. Darcy.

My top Three:

The Secret Garden - Love how Mary blossoms like the garden when she realises that there are more things in the world than her to think about.

Bram Stokers Dracula - Read this the once a few years ago and it haunts me still. I will have to read it again.

Bleak House Charles Dickens - I loved this story and read it in a matter of months. One of the rare books I wished I could start all over again the minute I finished!
