Oh no! Hope you heal quickly! Give yourself plenty of time t recover, head injuries can be very unnerving.

I second everything: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Age of Innocence, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Great Gatsby, The Master and Margarita, Zorba the Greek, The Beautiful and Damned, Pride and Prejudice, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, South American Jungle Tales, The Brothers Karamazov, Gone with the Wind, Animal Farm, The Three Musketeers (did anyone know Alexander Dumas was biracial? His dad was the son of a slave and a French aristocrat, whose adventures were the basis for a lot of the fictional adventures in Dumas' work), and Runaway Horses

Jess wrote: "I have never seen the movie, but so far I am surprised that the beginning of the novel doesn't follow Anna's point of view. Levin is pretty relatable and I have only read the first 50 pages."

I was totally confused at first with the starting viewpoint not being Anna, given that her name is the title, tho I like Levin. Once I figured out it was a multiple viewpoint epic soap opera, I got less confused.

added 8 books to post 21. Some of them are kids books, which I happen to love (just adding to the defense of children's lit, tho I agree, being shorter, in the next challenge, they should count for less)
