| Not read TGGatsby.
Charlottes Web, how'd you miss that one? A real tear jerker (for 9 year olds).

| | i didn't miss it, just never owned it. so now i do. i've just found the best book shop ever, like a real second hand book store. smells like books, big piles of books in no order at all. i asked the bloke if he had any idea where i'd find brave new world (got one now cloudy) and he pointed in a vague corner, after an hour i'd found around six books but not that one. the next time i went in he said that he deffo had a copy and he'd find it. so the next time he brought it from his own bookcase at home and tried to not charge me for it. it was a very english moment, 'no no no, i must give you some money for it' 'no i really can't' 'but i must'. it was ... well.. nice.

Benny, well done. Paddy, no and no. Done my 'classics' phase, now just interested in reading books which captivate me. JTTCOE - find a map, go to iceland, find a hole, go down it, kid gets seperated, nearly suffocates in the darkness, regroup. Probably meet some monsters down there I don't even care.

| you could do that with any book though. LOTR. finds ring, finds out its bad, needs to get rid, meets some monsters, gets rid of the ring.

I just can't get into Verne (hur hur). Read others: Wind in the Willows, Treasure Island, King Solomon's mines (great book) etc but just don't like him
