Les Miserables. It was long and some parts were quite the beating but when I finished it I immediately wanted to start it again. Such a beautiful beautiful story.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-27161426434694743952013-05-19T16:12:20.253-04:002013-05-19T16:12:20.253-04:00Great list!

I could've sworn you had read some... but if not, then you've got a bunch of great books ahead of you. I loved 1984, much more than I expected to. Melville and Steinbeck are two of my favorites, and of course Twain - Adventures of Huckleberry Finn really is THE Great American novel. :)Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-84311065968347449032013-05-19T16:10:54.892-04:002013-05-19T16:10:54.892-04:00The Grapes of Wrath is incredible!

Don't let the length dissuade you, it's beautiful and it moves along rather quickly. I think I read it in 10 days.
