Shakespeare's always worth reading. Except maybe <i>Titus Andronicus</i>. There's a reason no one performs that play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-35901478341413742472011-09-20T21:02:44.891-05:002011-09-20T21:02:44.891-05:00Oooh!

I still intend to, but it's so long, it scares me. <br /><br />Hamlet is a must read! My favorite Shakespeare play, it's riveting. A total masterpiece! The Great Gatsby is awesome, too. I wouldn't say it's too depressing. The people just disappoint, is all, 'cause they're very realistic, people.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog earlier today!Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-81990212229408359272011-09-20T13:52:28.305-05:002011-09-20T13:52:28.305-05:00I only read Outlander this year and it deserves al...I only read Outlander this year and it deserves all the praise, and Hamlet is a must-read, too.

I read "Things Fall Apart" both in high school and college; it's definitely worth reading, even if you're not taking a post-colonialism lit class :-) My husband loves Eric Larson's books, but I can't vouch for them personally except to say that my husband is a very picky reader.Sandie @Teen Lit Rockshttp://teenlitrocks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-40763895161184261942011-09-20T13:23:52.438-05:002011-09-20T13:23:52.438-05:00I definitely recommend Outlander.

Your post makes me think of books that everyone seems to like, but I don't (like Catcher in the Rye). :)<br /><br />Agree with your comment about the cover art for the Bradbury book -- not eye-catching or enticing at all. And it's too bad, because it's a great story.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456689516505172959noreply@blogger.com
