ollie89 06/02/17 8:34:24 PM #1:	It's one of my all time favorite novels. Despite all of the horrible shit the protagonist has to contend with (the death of her parents, an emotionally and physically abusive aunt, etc.) she never loses her dignity. She acknowledges that she is neither beautiful or rich, but she doesn't allow that to prevent her from living a good life. What do you guys think of the book? --- Woo! <cite>ollie89 posted [p:880301135] in CE, what d... [t:75415386]...</cite> <quote> It's one of my all time favorite novels.

Doesn't seem like my kind of story It's a very introspective novel about an individual who struggles to find her place in a world that hasn't been very kind to her. I love it. She's a fictional character, I know, but I think she's a good role model. --- Woo! <cite>ollie89 posted [p:880301735] in CE, what d...

Sinroth 06/03/17 1:02:01 AM #17:	I admittedly haven't read Jane Eyre, but I feel it probably doesn't get the respect it deserves because people see it as a girly-girl kind of book. ollie89 posted...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame Candide Fahrenheit 451 Nineteen Eighty-Four A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Frankenstein Hard Times Animal Farm A Christmas Carol And everything Oscar Wilde ever wrote. Also if genre fiction counts (not that some of the above isn't; actually most of it is...) Tolkien's works and Dune are my absolute favorites. Also The Man in the High Castle.
