I really think you should make your own list. Maybe an oz one and an international one. What do ounthink?
Like you there are a couple of books on there I have never heard of, and really don't know how I Capture the Castle qualifies. I would call it young adult fiction. See the movie, it is just as good as the book though neither will thrill teenage boys! Huck Finn, we did as a talking book on a holiday. It went on forever, but has its moments.
Oopsy sorry about typo. I meant what do you think?
Thanks for your confidence in me Megan. It would be an interesting process to make a list. But I don't feel well read enough in the area yet though. I'm sure I will make a list at some stage. I Capture the Castle is definitely on my TBR. I haven't even read Huck Finn....
What a great list, Louise...thanks for sharing it with us. I just read the entire Giver quartet last year and I loved it. I'm trying to read a lot of the books that I missed for some reason. I remember finding The Phantom Tollbooth at a thrift store or Goodwill. I had forgotten that I have it. Now if I could only find it! Again, thanks for the list!
Okay, I love this list. I must. I've read ever book on it.
For the most part I agree with the books on the list (there are a few I haven't read). Most of the books have been around since I was a kid, or before, though. I'm surprised there aren't more recent additions.
