Book List-January

The genre for January is classics. I know they can be boring sometimes, but some of them are really good! (And I need to read them for English class! ;) So, here are a couple of titles to get you started. Each week I will feature another book with a brief summary. Enjoy!

Title: Anne of Green Gables
Author: L. M. Montgomery
Rating: * * *
Notes: This book is kind of long and pretty hard to get into, but it get's better. (The movie is better!)

Title: Gone with the Wind
Author: Margaret Mitchell
Rating: * * * * and a half
Notes: Set against the backdrop of Georgia during the Civil War, Mitchell’s massive historical novel chronicles the tempestuous romance of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara.* (Great movie as well!)

Title: The Great Gatsby
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Rating: * * * *
Notes: Jay Gatsby has built an illegal empire to win the love of Daisy Buchanan, but his sacrifices for her prove to be his downfall.*

hey haley, Hope you consider Jane Eyre (a version is on masterpiece theater tonight). It's another one that's long but well worth it. Love, auntie J
