I read through A Tree Grows in Brooklynn by Betty Smith and highly enjoyed . To kill a mockingbirg by Harper Lee is a good book too.

To Kill a Mockingbird, The Bell Jar, A Seperate Peace, Farenheit 451, and The Metamorphosis are some of my all time favorite books. they are all classics and they are all on Rory's book list.

Pride and Prejudice, A Seperate Piece, Jane Eyre. Anything by Jane Austen is wonderful. Trust me on that one. |

I want to purcase a book for my cousin for her birthday, next week, I know she doesn't like poetry and the last book she read is "Hygiene De L'Assassin" by Amelie Northomb (she loved it and I borrowed it from her) but I have no idea...I was thinking about a biography.. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion.
Thanks!

I haven't heard of the title you mentioned, what kind of book is it and I'll see if I can think of some similar ones. What was it about?

Dracula/Frankenstein/Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are also good...Peter Pan is awesome. Those are the main classics i like, but sense & sensibility and count of monte cristo are my number 1 and 2 books of all times, including not just classics
