ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer for leaving a comment. Recently I changed up my top 10 as I'd just read a few new classics. I still love David Copperfield and Oliver Twist the best. Notice I place Jane Eyre before Pride and Prejudice, I'm sure that got a few boos!
ReplyDeleteI would have to add Tale of Two Cities and Gone With the Wind!
ReplyDeleteMelissa I've not read either of those books.......yet!
