Its time for Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
This week's theme is: Top Ten Favorite Classic Books
This year I joined The Classics Club and have agreed to read 50 classics in the next five years. This means I have read quite a few of these this year alone! Here's my favorites so far:
1. To Kill A Mockingbird: This is my favorite book period. Its just amazing.
2. Great Expectations: I recently read this and was quite impressed. I really liked how the main character really wasn't the best person at all times. He needed to be corrected several times.
3. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: I love this book, although it's been over ten years since I read it. I think a reread is in order.
4. Slaughterhouse Five: This book is unique and hilarious.
5. A Christmas Carol: Such a fun book for a holiday season!
7. The Count of Monte Cristo: I would love to reread this someday but it's a huge undertaking.
8. Anne of Green Gables: This is a cute fun tale I can't wait to read to my daughters (when I have daughters).
9. Catch 22: This is another unique and hilarious book.
10. Something Wicked This Way Comes: This is a fun a eery tale.
Definitely want to read more Ray Bradbury! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHe's a great writer. He's entertaining and creative.
DeleteReally great list. I am kicking myself for forgetting Anne of Green Gables. I love that book!
ReplyDeleteI just recently read it, so it was on my mind. :)
DeleteI must read Slaughterhouse Five. It's getting lots of recommendations. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the weirdest books I have ever read, but was funny.
Delete"Well now..." I personally think you can read Ann of Green Gables to you sons too... when you have sons. I reread it when I need reminded that most of humanity is silently decent. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is true. Considering my husband is a big fan, I am guessing my sons will too.
DeleteIt's so funny and unique! I always recommend it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, it's fantastic! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to read the Count of Monte Cristo but I still have to make my way through Dracula, Les Miserables, and Anna Karenina first... :/ So impressed you've read it! Great choice. :)
ReplyDeleteLes Miserable is so much bigger than The Count of Monte Cristo. Good luck with that! It's on my TBR list, but man, it's intimidating.
