I liked her choices, they are all awesome books, and deserve their permanent place in the halls of literature.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504883854292781643.post-31348292310481190892009-08-04T05:18:55.421-05:002009-08-04T05:18:55.421-05:00Persuasion is a book I really want to read.

I apologize for not responding sooner, but I have been out of town this weekend.<br /><br />Bermuda, Fleurfisher- I am always happy to add to people's TBR piles :-)<br /><br />Nymeth- I think, as you're a fantasy fan, you'd really like Phantom Tollbooth. But then, I think *everyone* should read that book!<br /><br />Carrie K - Crime and Punishment is not a drudge to read, in my opinion, like many classics are. It's very, very good reading.<br /><br />Kristen, Beth, Padfoot, and Jenners - am off to find your blogs now, as you all clearly have excellent taste in books!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504883854292781643.post-79624164218389982942009-08-02T19:07:56.107-05:002009-08-02T19:07:56.107-05:00Excellent list ... and I love "The Phantom To...Excellent list ... and I love "The Phantom Tollbooth."
