It's so hard to guess. I believe list #4 has a distinct girly feel to it though.
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to read literature or famous works so I can't promise much of a list.
This is what I got, if I'm allowed to sneak plays and poetry in:
#1 Life of Pi
#2 The Alchemist
#3 Romeo and Juliet
#4 Collected poetry of William Wordsworth
#5 Collected poetry of John Keats
#6 The Whole Motion (Poetry by James Dickey )
#7 The White Tiger
...#8 To Kill A Mockingbird
ReplyDeleteTrust me to forget my favourite one.
Thank you for listing "To Kill A Mockingbird" I've been on a self-improvement binge this year and am determined to read more classics. I just finish TKAM this past weekend. WOW. Never read it in H.S. Lit, but loved every word of it and it's now on my favs list.
