Anyone know of some good books? Hmmmmm, looking for one to read with my table group, but all the books I like really well, are classics and are old.
I don't deny I can read almost book as long it's appropriate, and spend really time on it. Anyone have a top book everyone might, and it has much meaning behind the words?
Hmmmmm, thinking about Sherlock Holmes, but people these days can't/don't want to read that!

Can't think of any classics that would be good....
Wait, how about Bambi? Now there's a great classic (read it myself and I loved it).

You should still try Bambi out. I think you'll really like it.

I really like "Rule of The Bone". The book could easily make a great movie.

I just checked out a book from a school library that was fantastic! It's called The Hollow Kingdom by Clare B. Dunkle. I don't think you would like it Rachel, but Sam would.
I just tried to describe the book, but it was much too long just to get to what it's about. I think you just have to read it yourself, but it is a Romance Fantasy about two young girls (one 18 and the other 11) and goblins. It is the first book and I'm definitely reading the other two as soon as possible.

Um, I have a book that I just read in class, just finished it, and it's a great book. We do have to be mature about it though.
It's title is
To Kill A Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
this is a book about a white family, that lives in the south in the 1930's. The father is a lawyer, and he solves cases. In this book he only does one, which involves racism. It does consequently have the N word, but if you are fairly mature about it, it's good.
The narrator is a six years old and is the lawyers daughter.

In my class, we're starting to read Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
Went to the library today and checked out the complete version of Wind in the Willows. Haven't gotten that far yet, but I'm at the part where Mole meets Toad.

Oh cool. I haven't read many classics. I've read Little Women, and some others.
I just bought myself a new copy of one of my favourite books ever! They've just re-released it and I'm very happy as the copy I had before belongs to my Grandma and she wants it back. It's called Swish of the Curtain by Pamela Brown. It was originally published in 1941 and is about a group of children who start their own amateur theater group. Admittedly it is rather dated in parts (the new copy I got has a note explaining some of the terms used) but I still love it.

I've never read any Dickens.
We've just finished reading "The Strang Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde." It was actually quite interesting but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't known the ending.

My dog is like Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. Anyway, don't tell me the ending, I don't know it yet. It's on my list of stories I might read.
