Quite humorous; I wish I could have seen it performed.

Little Women
Louisa May Alcott
Very enjoyable period piece, and lovely to see how the different personas are developed.
The Arabian Nights
I can only say that the 16-volume Burton translation is the best. What a tapestry!
Confessions
Saint Augustine
For the Christian especially, to see the real struggles a giant of the faith must endure is a good lesson for us all.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
Lewis Carroll
Flatland
Edwin A. Abbott
This is a fun and excellent exercise in how to visualize Euclidean space. Ian Stewart's Annotated Flatland is definitive.
The Bible
Ought to be read from cover to cover, like any book, to understand it's contents; dipping in here and there does not work.
The Big Sleep
Raymond Chandler
Tense, terse, edge-of-your-seat writing at it's best. The epitome of noir.
The Book of Three
Lloyd Alexander
The first book was good, though the series itself was hardly memorable.
Watership Down
Richard Adams
While I certainly don't regret reading it, I would never read it again. Too dark.
Fairy Tales
Hans Christian Andersen
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Douglas Adams
One of the most comedic science fiction books ever written, I revisit it every few years.
Tuck Everlasting
Natalie Babbitt
A long time since I've read this, but it was definitely worth it.
Goodnight Moon
Margaret Wise Brown, pictures by Clement Hurd
A Clockwork Orange
Anthony Burgess
Essential angst-ridden book of failed reform. Do find a copy with the restored ending chapters.
The Man Who Was Thursday
G. K. Chesterton
