Overall, though, I've mostly discovered classics that were pretty great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023849026866219188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632668648818426220.post-18742070687265094532014-04-03T13:41:34.247-07:002014-04-03T13:41:34.247-07:00I read a lot of classic literature.

Some of them read quite fast, others are more of a slog. Anna Karenina, for example, has lots of what we now call "head-hopping"--the point of view shifts over and over in the same scene. <br /><br />As far as kids' classics, the Newberry list is a good place to start. I've read aloud to my daughter great ones from the 1960s--The Egypt Game and A String in the Harp were recent faves.<br /><br />Happy A-Zing<br />Laurel<br /><a href="http://laurelgarver.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Laurel's Leaves</a>Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632668648818426220.post-81469955585275752972014-04-03T07:35:33.148-07:002014-04-03T07:35:33.148-07:00i love this idea! i will have to check it out! my ...i love this idea! i will have to check it out! my MG fantasy comes out in June, but i would like to know what kids enjoy from the classics as well. glad i stopped by!<br />happy c day!Tara Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587802105993889515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632668648818426220.post-45472313507362846082014-04-03T06:30:31.398-07:002014-04-03T06:30:31.398-07:00That's definitely a worthy goal.

I mean, it's neat to see how they used to think and speak, but, they really rambled. LOL!!! I'm a product of an impatient era.
