Thats the true story of Lewis Carrol smile

Since I knew that fact I read the books of Carrol in another perspective smile

Though I'm a big fan of fantasy, mythology, horror and such genres. To Killing A Mocking Bird is a must read. A great classic that everyone should read and dabble with, always good to discuss it with others since you'll peer into things much better with different perspectives.

Thanks for the feedback BKK big grin

I'm not familiar with some of the titles but most of these are novels correct? If so, can we suggest fiction and non-fiction books for the future book of the month?

Also my vote goes to Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I hope it gets pick smile

your correct! and I would very much like suggestions form fellow KMC ers,fiction or non-fiction,in fact for my self non-fiction is my favorite...but it would still have to follow the pg-13 guide lines of the forum of coarse,nothing to explicit. and series I dont think should be considered either even great epics like lotr's just to much for a month of reading...though I would like thoughts from everyone on that if it comes up.

we were just talking about lewis carroll...that book will always be one of my favorites,even if my opinion of the author has changed a bit.

lol. That's too bad.

If its really bad, I'm wondering why it's considered a "Classic".

I've read all the books on that list except for Wuthering Heights...lol.

I voted for Rose Daughter, I love that book smile

For those who don't know, it's based off of the story of Beauty and the Beast, and is a retelling of the original fairy tale.
