I remember Jay Leno mentioning once that it was his favorite book. 📗<br /><br />In high school I hated The Red Badge of Courage, Moby Dick, and The Old Man and the Sea. Everything else I loved. I had to read The Old Man and the Sea twice more for college classes. It was the bane of my existence. 🙄La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-20436710817389586742021-08-28T19:42:51.217-05:002021-08-28T19:42:51.217-05:00I love Persuasion!!

I have read Persuasion and started Emma but not finished it. One of the pod casters on Currently Reading totally raves about The Count of Monte Cristo so that must be good as I respect her.Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581790816548017087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-59670737986680245742021-08-27T17:08:47.516-05:002021-08-27T17:08:47.516-05:00Never heard of the last three.

I do faintly remember Robin Hood and the Three Muskateers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-55607357616448590222021-08-27T09:29:32.889-05:002021-08-27T09:29:32.889-05:00I was an English major, so I read A LOT of classic...I was an English major, so I read A LOT of classics in college, some awesome, some not. My favorite class was about young adult literature, which was hardly a thing back then, but we read some fun books like LITTLE WOMEN and A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN. I remember reading THE MOONSTONE in college and enjoying it. I'll be interested to see what you think of all these.

I've deeply enjoyed (almost) every classic I've read over the past few years. The more time I've spent reading a classic, the more I've enjoyed it. I'm slowly (a chapter a day) reading David Copperfield now.<br /><br />I would love to read Count of Monte Cristo.

Most of them as audiobooks. The Librivox recordings of the Classics are quite good and it's for free!<br /><br />The Turn of the Screw and Dorian Gray is really good!!!<br /><br />Have a good weekend and take care.<br /><br /><a href="https://elzareads.blogspot.com/2021/08/friday-fives-7-five-ballet-themed-books.html" rel="Elza Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147340976876251074noreply@blogger.com
