A lot of those were back in high school for AP English and a lot of the others were during a phase I went through when I wanted to be a writer so I was determined to read all the classics

To be fair though, I was in honors english all through HS and read a lot of them there...then when I would nurse the girls, I'd read a lot. Finally, I found the free ebooks were mostly the classics so I read most of Mark Twains works and Jane Austin on that. -------------------- Cary

Hi Kelly!

thats a good idea!. I tend to stick to 2 types of books. Memoirs and war/war history. Maybe its time to try out some other books.

Hi, Anne.

I lurk a bit any more. I don't spend as much internet time as I used to since the divorce. I spend more real life time, instead. Not as much to run from, I suppose. It is a good list. I liked reading through it.
