I reread A Tale of Two Cities Last Month, and started Silas Marner yet again last night right after posting my blog. I didn't even begin to add my children's lit to my list. Maybe that would have to be a separate blog? Thanks for the great list. There are books there I'd never heard of.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878203057848340870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758763363942581003.post-68672939326061502752008-06-02T02:15:00.000-06:002008-06-02T02:15:00.000-06:00Thanks for the challenge!

My favorite's are historical novels, mostly British and American, but about half of my favorites come from children's lit. I am currently re-reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (I read an abridged version in jr. high, now working my way through the unabridged version -- great but, whew), and I think if I ever read Pride & Prejudice, it might belong on this list. Here is a very partial list of my "MUST KEEPS":<BR/><BR/>*The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom<BR/>*The Kingdom and the Crown: Fishers of Men; Come Follow Me; & Behold the Man by Gerald Lund<BR/>*How to Grow More Vegetables...than you ever thought possible on less land than you can imagine (go figure -- I'm a nut ! ! !)<BR/>*Men to Match My Mountains by Irving Stone<BR/>*Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana<BR/>*Silas Marner by George Eliot (aka Mary Ann Evans)<BR/>*The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas<BR/>*A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens<BR/>*Little Women by Louisa May Alcott<BR/>*Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte<BR/>*The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth Goerge Speare<BR/>*My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George<BR/>*Owls in the Family by Farley Mowatt<BR/>*Call it Courage by Armstrong Sperry<BR/>*The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett<BR/>*The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi<BR/>*The Empty Pot by Demi<BR/>*Anne of Green Gables (+ everything else) by L.M.
