Holes : I'd give it a 6/10

 

Romeo And Juliet : 8/10

 

MErchant of Venice : 7/10

 

Lord of The Rings series (all 6 books): 8/10

 

Brave New World : 8/10

 

 

 

not so sure if the last is a classic. Lord of The Rings is not a trilogy, it is 6 books, but is usually divided in 3 books. (Fellowship of The ring contains books 1 and 2, Two Towers, 3 and 4, Return of The King, 5 and 6)

11th grade

 

 

 

- Francome Outsider

 

 

 

- Hamlet

I read constantly, but most of what I read are modern day fantasy and science fiction works. I generally get through about 2-3 books per month lol.

 

 

 

I tend to stay clear of best sellers and "classics". Although I was forced to read a few during my school days including;

 

 

 

The Railway Children

 

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

 

Lots of Shakespear (i guess that counts)

 

 

 

and various other stuff I've deliberately erased from memory lol

lol i agree being intelligent sucks we should all just erase stuff from our memories that are not cheap mainstream macdonalds-fueled commercial products because who needs writers anyway we have xbox

My school didn't believe in reading, but I read alot of these books for fun. A few other things I'd

 

put on your list:

 

 

 

Alice in Wonderland -- Pretty fantastic book, if you ask me.

 

also Through The Looking Glass -- I've read these two about a dozen times.

 

 

 

Dante's Inferno -- Although I haven't read the rest of the Divine Comedy.

 

 

 

Robinson Crusoe -- Or was this already on there? It wasn't so great anyway ...

 

 

 

Animal Farm -- Short,but good.

 

 

 

The Time Machine -- And also basically H.G. Wells's entire works.

 

 

 

 

 

Although I didn't read the thread, only the opening post, someone probably already

 

mentioned these.
