Crime and Punishment is a pretty great read, as is Oliver Twist. I have to say I have mixed feelings about Moby Dick - certain parts of it are amazing, but then there are some very detailed scientific chapters that kind of put me off a bit. I haven't read The Godfather or War and Peace either, but really need to someday. Great list!Suzanne @ The Bookish Librahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116292880784513187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294980775210970165.post-58976411830148053912016-08-23T17:55:30.302-04:002016-08-23T17:55:30.302-04:00Nice list of books!!

I read Matilda when I was about 9 and adored it so much that I insisted on reading it in the bath... then accidentally played submarines with it! Also, I'm a massive Dickens fan, I love the lengthy description, but it's often thought of as too dry, I'd recommend A Tale of Two Cities as well as Oliver Twist :)<br /><br />www.englishgirlinnewyork.org Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13882388340588916342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294980775210970165.post-47222109596238294082016-08-23T10:27:22.843-04:002016-08-23T10:27:22.843-04:00I have that Dostoevsky and another Dickens on my l...I have that Dostoevsky and another Dickens on my list too. <br />See my full list here https://runwright.net/2016/08/23/11364/<br />I'll be adding you on Goodreads.
