I guess reading the Hobbit might get you in the mood for fantasy, especially if it's one you like already.<br /><br />I recently read A Clockwork Orange, and it's really great for the most part. I'm also hoping to read some of GRRM but that's quite a commitment considering the size of the books.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530490398283237371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-89878125033640423882012-01-25T12:32:08.951-05:002012-01-25T12:32:08.951-05:00Ooooooh, I didn't know about this!

I'm pretty sure I read <em>Journey to the Center of the Earth</em> in middle school, but it's been so long that I barely remember it.

I highly recommend it - at least something to consider. :)Roof Beam Readerhttp://roofbeamreader.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-27368945796320867072012-01-25T11:25:44.534-05:002012-01-25T11:25:44.534-05:00Hope you'll join us, Amanda!

It's a "favorite" for so many people, and I'm a huge fan of Arthurian Legend (this being the "King" of contemporary mythology for that particulary storyline) ...but I just didn't like it much.Roof Beam Readerhttp://roofbeamreader.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-5971713631515229082012-01-25T11:23:41.057-05:002012-01-25T11:23:41.057-05:00Woo hoo!

And I'm glad the event will allow you to knock out books from your primary classics challenge as well - I should do the same, but I really need an excuse to read Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy, which I didn't put on any other challenges for the year... <br /><br />I didn't particularly like Journey to the Center of the Earth or The Once and Future King, but there are certainly things to appreciate in both. I haven't read The Time Machine yet (possibly because I hated War of the Worlds?) but I do want to.<br /><br />I LOVE A Clockwork Orange. I've read it twice - own two copies - and I have the t-shirt from Out of Print Clothing: http://shop.outofprintclothing.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=b-1035Roof Beam Readerhttp://roofbeamreader.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-42867173505150049132012-01-25T11:21:15.173-05:002012-01-25T11:21:15.173-05:00I'm strongly considering this one even though ...I'm strongly considering this one even though I'm not technically doing challenges anymore. Since it's a monthly event and more like RIP, though, it might be okay. Especially since I've been so into DWJ lately!! I would recommend Howl to you, but I think you said you've already read that one. :DAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-64988402010482188192012-01-25T11:19:45.800-05:002012-01-25T11:19:45.800-05:00Fun fun fun!
