i'm just wondering. Is there anyone here who reads the classics, too? If so, what are your favorites? :glow: Mine are The count of monte cristo and To kill a mocking bird

You have to read Pilgrim's Progress, Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings. These are Christian allegory that will inspire you.

I'm with you there. I love all of Jane Austen's works. Although her plots aren't terribly complex and usually centre in on finding a husband, her characters are very well developed and interesting. I also appreciate her satire.

Hi Joliz,



I know where Ridgetown, ON is but where is Ridgeville, ON?

It is somewhat heartening to see that fine writing is still being read, For myself, my favourite book of them all is probably Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Currently reading my way through Thomas Hardy's novels, it is difficult to not be moved by the tragic fate of Tess, I love Hardy's characterisations, his description of the Wessex countryside, country ways and his dialogue. Fond of George Orwell, life is short, so many wonderful books!

The Brothers Karamazov is a great novel. I really enjoyed reading it.

@YourZorro, sorry, I never noticed your question. Ridgeville is in Niagara. Not far from St. Catharines.

I struggled through Pilgrim's Progress, but thoroughly enjoyed the Chronicles of Narnia. Read the Lord of the Rings as well.
