Can you list some books?

[Ursula_Minor]

My favourite "classic" is inside of that range, and always takes me two sittings (tops!) to read: Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar."

[Schultzii4]

Some enjoyable books with some good content is the Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, most books by JRR TOLKEIN, Hemingway's boom The Old Man and the Sea is one I thoroughly enjoy.

Of Mice and Men . It's only about 100 pages or so and it's a really good story.

[MrRager]

Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf isn't too long. To kill a mockingbird - Harper Lee.

[London-Paris]

I read Pride and Prejudice about two years ago. It is a very interesting book and the major themes would include matrimony, society's views of specific relations and interactions between a man and women especially with the concern of amorous affections, and several other themes to add to the mix. I highly recommend the book to anyone looking for romance, a bit of mystery, suspicion, scandalous affairs and flight of fancy during the time of explicit sophistication and etiquette.

Hi,

I suggest books of Lang Leav.
I love her Love and Misadventure, which I just have read earlier today.
It's not too long.
I fell in love with it instantly.
Now moving to her next book Lullabies.

You will love it.
I felt the pain, love, sadness and happiness of the author.

Good luck!

I absolutely agree with you! I am not a huge poetry person, I have a hard time getting the rhythm of most poems. Lang Leav's little poems are so full of emotion that I was hooked immediately and got both her poetry books!

George Orwell - "1984"
George Orwell - "Animal Farm" - an allegorical and dystopian novella
Fedor Dostoevskiy - The Brothers Karamazov (is too long for you query, but you should read it)
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita
Franz Kafka - Metamorphosis

[Maria Luisa]
