I finished Anne of Green Gables. I enjoyed it a lot.
This year so far -
Rebecca
Wuthering Heights
Oliver Twist
Pride and Prejudice
Anne of Green Gables
Probably Catcher in The Rye for my next classic. I'm reading something else at the moment.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Gem - well done. The year is progressing with some very interesting classics.
Catcher has come back up to the top of the list, I see.

Im at the minute reading not a true classic but its about Mary Bennet the third sister in the Pride and Prejudice book , she is the plain one
It is about her written in the style of her account of her life as the un pretty un interesting one ,
So far its good .
Its called The other Bennet sister

That sounds interesting Oma.
I am almost halfway through Catcher in The Rye and finding it rather boring!“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Gem - I confess, I gave up on Catcher a long time ago.

I never considered Catcher don't know why ,
Sometimes I have read a book I hated and just like you Gem found boring and I have taken ages to read and still didn't like it at the end but wouldn't be beaten by it ,
Its called being stubborn hahahaIm not fat just 6ft too smallComment

Well, it got slightly less boring, but it's hard to see how Catcher in The Rye has become a classic (I felt the same way when I finally saw The Mousetrap! I have seen much better Agatha Christie's than that)
I am going to rate my classic reads out of 5.
Rebecca (5)
Wuthering Heights (2)
Oliver Twist (5)
Pride and Prejudice (3)
Anne of Green Gables (5)
The Catcher in the Rye (2)
To Kill a Mockingbird (5)
Howards End (3.5)“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

I'm on my last book on my Kindle at the moment so I need to stock up again. Any suggestions would be welcome.
