mipeltajaSo I need to read a book for my Finnish class. No biggie, done it a thousand times before, but I am having trouble choosing from the list of books given to us.
So far, I've narrowed it down to the following books:
- Treasure Island
- Around the World in 80 Days
- The World According to Garp
- (something by Shakespeare, possibly Love's Labour's Lost, which is one of my personal favourites of his work)
- (something by Arthur Conan Doyle [Sherlcok Holmes is one of my personal heroes])
- Don Quijote
- Grapes of Wrath
I'm leaning towards Treasure Island ATM, because when I was little, I used to have a children's audio book version of it, complete with quite simple but nonetheless impressive illustrations of pirates backstabbing each other and dead bodies in various states of decomposition. It was always my favourite audio book.
In any case, if any of you on my flist have read any of these books, please to be telling me why I should or should not read them.
EDIT: lol I was like the last one to get to choose and most of the ones that sounded interesting were taken right away. Oh, well, according to my teacher, The World According to Garp is a fabulous book. I hope he's right.
