You are right!...<B>Katharine</B>, thanks for stopping by. You are right! My schooling was a little more to the Southern side. Where's the Faulkner, Weldy, Hurston, Morris, Morrison, McCullers, Walker, Wright, O'Connor, and Twain? I do remember reading Tess/by Hardy (10th grd) and o/c it's not on the list. I also noticed the African-American authors are sadly missing.<BR/><BR/>You are so right, the list seems to be Canadian (& white) generated.<BR/><BR/>No excuse, though! I need to read the English classics! :Omaggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-90012864605327908652007-03-05T22:38:00.000-06:002007-03-05T22:38:00.000-06:00Well, most of mine were green..I guess I'm of-an-a...Well, most of mine were green..I guess I'm of-an-age, and did most of the classics in high school and college My 10-foot poles were the Harry Potters (the first 2 were enough!) ones and chick lit. You don't read Canadian lit, which is why you missed Lawrence, Ondaaje, Anne Marie Macdonald and Atwood. Of your italicized titles, I think A Fine Balance and KiteRunner are not to be missed..Outlander is fun, too.

Good one! <BR/><BR/>Hmm, girly classics - guess I never thought of them in those terms. Pride and Prejudice is an all-time favorite of mine. I have a lot of all-time favorites, though. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-16516953675368896602007-03-03T15:47:00.000-06:002007-03-03T15:47:00.000-06:001984 and Catchter in the Rye are great books.

It seems that we have the same idea of what we don't want to read and we also don't know the same titles. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh and about the girly classics...I only read Rebecca, Jane Eyre and P&P last month so we have that in common too.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134658141375355475noreply@blogger.com
