bellabella Sound like good, long books! I hope you enjoy them. I've only read Grapes of Wrath out of those, but I liked it a lot. 1w

dabbe If I had to pick my top 3 from your list, I'd choose GRAPES, THINGS FALL APART, and A SEPARATE PEACE--loved teaching that in high school. You kicked my butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 1w

Susanita Things Fall Apart 😭 1w

wanderinglynn @Susanita that‘s what I‘ve heard, which is why it‘s been sitting on my TBR bookshelf 1w

To Kill a Mockingbird | Harper Lee

pick

This is the kind of book where you feel like you‘re right there with Scout and Jem, whether it‘s harassing the Radley‘s, playing with Dill, or watching Tom Robinson‘s trial from the balcony. This truly is a masterpiece that will stay with you forever. #Classicschallenge2020 #GAR

Fantastic book, although I really don‘t know where Hollywood got their version of the monster from. 😂 #LitsyAtoZ #GAR

AlaMich I named my cat Sodapop when I was an adolescent. My father was baffled. 😆 6y

KarouBlue OMG I‘m on ch5 and was just thinking the same thing. This one‘s got family history though. My dad went to WRHS w/ Hinton and lived in the “Greasers” meighborhood Hinton interviewed. It‘s my one link to bookish fame! Spent my summers at the same drive in as Ponyboy, too! 6y

Rachbb3 @MellieAntoinette That's awesome! It's like the book coming alive for you. 😀 6y

Don Quixote | Miguel de Cervantes

I reached page 200 today. At this rate I should finish sometime in September/October. 😄

I'm loving Sancho Panza and have had some LOL moments.

GreatBookStudy YAY! Sancho is full of wisdom and a great statesmen. He is not a foolish as DQ makes him out to be. (edited) 6y
