[chachacha]

everyone should read Giants in the Earth about Norwegian immigrants. i love the quality of the writing in The Mill on the Floss, also by George Eliot who was a woman...and i also reread a few times The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy....if you are teachers you will love Good Bye Mr Chips...i still get a nice feeling just thinking about these books....my favorites! from the great french literature comes A Knot of Vipers by Francois Mauriac, great characterizations. and anything by Graham Green, especially The Potting Shed. i had to read My Antonia in american literature and it was the most depressing thing i ever read, sorry Willa Cather.
Enjoy!
