geetarplayer Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne! It sounds infantile but it's actually very cute and clever! -Mark
MissScripture Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 [quote name='geetarplayer' date='Jul 23 2005, 02:37 PM']Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne! It sounds infantile but it's actually very cute and clever! -Mark [right][snapback]655891[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yes, One can never out grow Winnie the Pooh. As for more suggestions, I really enjoyed Ender's Game and that series by Orson Scott Card. Oh, and 1984, by George Orwell is excellent. All Quiet on the Western Front is very good...kind of depressing, especially when you have to write a research paper on it, and go way in depth, but it is really quite profound. A very good read. As someone mentioned before Patrick F. McManus, if you want a good laugh. Oh, and I also loved reading The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. Or the Chronicles of Narnia, for that matter, if you haven't already! That's all I can think of off hand. Happy Reading.
