The Prime of Miss ...<i>The Secret Garden</i> is amazing! <br /><br /><i>The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie</i> can be read in a day. It's one of the meanest books ever written, and face-punchingly brilliant. Maybe "face-punchingly" isn't the most appealing adjective to use in this space. But it is accurate.<br /><br /><i>Pnin</i>, by Nabokov, is a slender book about a Russian emigre teaching at a tiny New England college. It's an easy, delicious read, all the gorgeous funny writing of <i>Lolita</i> with 0% of the pedophilia.<br /><br />Also delicious, non-face-punching, and easy to read in a day: <i>The Blue Castle</i> by L.M. Montgomery.<br /><br />And when considering easy books to read in a day, don't neglect poetry, short stories, or plays! Plays are especially easy to read in a short period of time.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-79323015016788073172012-04-03T20:22:14.916-07:002012-04-03T20:22:14.916-07:00Love your interpretation of today's list. And ...Love your interpretation of today's list. And you list so many great books. Love Horse and his Boy! Love The Scarlet Pimpernel! And I'm going to have to add If You Love Me/Nothing Else Matters to my TBR list. St. John is a great story teller. I also took a different take on today's list - if it were possible to read this in one day I would. http://rinasreading.blogspot.com/2012/04/top-ten-books-to-read-in-day.htmlRinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339369969869686216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-12194425763053379692012-04-03T19:05:46.953-07:002012-04-03T19:05:46.953-07:00Fantastic list!
