George Sands is another famous one.

It depends which is more suitable. In Dickens' Great Expectations,and Defoe's Robsinson Cruesoe, for example, the importance of the story lies largely in the protagonists' reflections on their previous lexperiences; thus it is necessary to write in first person. I do, however, think that first...

Don't worry about getting the Inferno done quickly, it's poetry and you have to savour it. What exactly are you finding difficult? And The Inferno is rather short, perhaps you have the entire Divine Comedy in your book? At any rate the Inferno is incomplete alone.

It's a good idea. My personal opinion is that they should be leaving the country rather than settling down with books but it doesn't look like that will happen very soon.

It isn't very difficult. It is a long book, but not unreadable at any rate.

Tom Bombadil I have never been annoyed by any character more than Tom Bombadil from LOTR. Goldberry wasn't so terrible, but Tom Bombadil was awful. Everything about him annoyed me. I can't believe someone like Tolkien had such great potential to be lame.

I am reading LOTR for the first time, just started. Don't you envy me? Now I must go have a series of visions in which those who wouldn't recommend it are being impaled. Excuse me for a moment.

I too when I have the time am a chain reader.

Tolkien's publishers caused LOTR to be published in a trilogy contrary to his wishes, right?

lmao.

It is the right heel in most accounts. In my opinion, don't place too much importance on the heel, In the Iliad it is not mentioned, the epic that takes place before the Illiad was lost, and Achilles needs armour in the epic. As to his being hit in in the hell by the divinely guided arrow of...

Brilliant

In my opinion, the greatest novels which fit your description are Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped" and "Treasure Island". There are, too, those about pre-teens such as Haugaard's "The Boy and the Samurai" (though you should read "The Samurai's Tale" first) and Mark Twain's "Adventures...

I was unsure if this was the correct forum or not, so please move it if it belongs elsewhere. I have seen the subject of this post present in middle school libraries, and I was interested in the thoughts of the members here. Members of the age group are often extremely impressionable, and...

I envy you.

Clearly you don't understand the purpose of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy.

Here are some classics I would reccomend: Literally anything from the pens of Dostoevsky or Tolstoy. These giants of literature are truly worth the endeavor. The best works are in my opinion: War and Peace-T Brothers Karamazov-D Anna Karenina-T Tolstoy's treatise on What is Art...

My suggestions: "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri Since it is a collection it will be interesting to compare favorites. "The Knight of Maison Rouge" by Alexandre Dumas. You gotta love Dumas
