Pride and Prejuduce, Sherlock Holmes, Little Women, Vanity Fair, aka., all the ones they've made movies out of. *Is guilty* But hey, the movies are good to, and most stick to the books, wickh is why I like them 🙂 (plus they're faster paced, Jane Austen is good, but LONG) Now I'm in the mood for all those movies, and I only own 2 of them!!!

@ Brynne– I was on 3rd chapter and I got really confused(Oliver Twist) that's why I'm reading books with similar language. My goal is to read Oliver.

@ Brynne– I liked it… I can't explain why. I don't really make summer reading lists but I join our library's reading program in the summer! Does anyone do that?

It depends on the classic, but for the most part I really enjoy classics. I loved Jane Eyre and The House of the Seven Gables but found Black Beauty rather boring, as was the case with Peter Pan. Anne of Green Gables was one of my favorite books when I was younger. I hated Little Women, however. Oh, wait, that was probably just because I read it when I was about 8 and it was abridged. Never mind, I guess I haven't read it then.
Do you like the rewrites of classics as well? (i.e. Jane Slayre, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, etc.) I thought that they were well written and quite enjoyable, for the most part.
Oh yes, and they were creepy.

I plan to read Jane Eyre soon. I just never got around to it for some reason. I've read The Looking Glass Wars trilogy, though; many people here have. It's very good. I've been meaning to write Little House In Space for a while now, but I've been too busy; I think it might have to wait until summer. Oh, and by the way, if you're who I think you might be, I'm Bibliophile. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I don't know you, so never mind.
