What a wonderful list! I would go with To Kill a Mockingbird. It is well written and still today has major inpact in our lives in general as prejudice still exists and curiousity is always in the minds of children.
Huck Finn would be a great one to liven up the spirit. Mark Twain is amazing satirist (I don't think I spelled that right). The irony and joy in this book still captivates me today. Lots to be learned in this book and I think it would capture the minds of 10th graders.
My Favorite Hemingway books is on your list-Farewell to Arms. This is a great Novel as it does acurately dipict the war and is based upon a love affair that Hemingway had.
Oh so many wonderful books on the list. Good Luck Vicki!
I am extremely anal about my books but have unfortunitly spilled food or drink on a few. Not intending too.
I really need to work on not buying books. This is my biggest problem. I am so addicted to reading and buying.
Welcome to our group!
Welcome Jon! That is neat that you get to work around books!
Welcome to the group Mike!
This is a great Idea! I love it. I think we are all the same as our bookshelves are overloaded with books. I'll have to add my bookshelf.
P that is so funny about your need for internet. I think I would do the same thing....
Glad you joined Alisa!
