LAmom Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I usually stick to nonfiction and Christian topic/theological books. I am wanting to find a good book, probably fiction, to read while on vacation. Any recommendations on one that would especially be helpful for educating myself? Like one of your favorite, MUST READ classics? I did buy Unbroken (not a classic...) and was looking forward to it and then realized I do not want to read a book about a man stranded at sea (not to make light of his story). I do struggle with spending time on fiction at all, feeling like it is a waste. I read Hunger Games this past year and an Alexander McCall Smith book. I enjoyed them but would maybe do better with a fiction book that also will help educate me and prepare me for better teaching my kids! Know what I mean? So, what are your recommendations? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverwood Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My favorite "classic" book is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I also love Pride and Prejudice, and Gone With the Wind. I am currently reading Fall of Giants by Ken Follett, and it is wonderful. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
