Truth be I had a hard time getting into reading and thank goodness I had loving English teachers that didn't demand that we read from a certain list of books. They did have a list of books they wouldn't take credit but for the most part we where free to read what we want. This did lead me away from reading classic books. And truth most classic books have some sort of movie version so why was my time reading the book. But now when I watch them I wonder what details where left out. I feel a good movie won't be including the details. You want more details, one hopes that you will be inclined to read the book.
So this summer is the summer of classic reading. The classic books that my parents always had a copy of, a easy readers version with pictures and them original version. Me, I would look at the picture book versions from time to time but never read them. Thanks be I have found all these books for the iPod book app for free. So no worry of library rentals or money to pay them. (No money in the pocket book for me)
Pollyanna
Wizard of Oz
Daddy long legs
Hedi
Little princess
Secret garden
Anne of green gables
Alice though the looking glass
Little lord Fauntleroy
Sherlock Holmes adventures
Many of these books are part of a series of books but I just want to get the first ones read. Might squees Robin Hood and Tom Sawyer. I think I might do little book write ups and art for each in the coming weeks.
