I do really want to read Jane Eyre but we could do that the book after because the new movie is coming out in March and I thought it would be cool to read the book and then all go see the movie together.
The Woman in White is AWESOME, as is The Moonstone by the same author. I would also recommend, to accompany Christie, something of the Father Brown stories by G. K. Chesterton. They are short stories. They were roughly contemporaries and both Poirot (Christie's character) and Father Brown (Chesterton's) have been adapted to tv.
Apparently the little poll up there is too classless to display the letter "ë" in Brontë. Uncultured swine.
ReplyDeleteIf we end up with the Christie book, can we do another easy read, or like some short stories? I read Ten Little Indians in a single night.
ReplyDeleteAlso, here are some suggestions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Got_His_Gun (very easy to read, but VERY good)
Johnny Got His Gun sounds interesting. I would be into that. Also what about F. Scott Fitzgerald?

Or Ben suggested Brave New World which I would be into also.
