But putting my toasted mommy brain to that much effort to read a book (not all classics are really heavy reading, obviously, but a lot of them are and I need something fluffy and engaging to hold my attention these days, lol) just feels like too much work right now. Some of the ones I haven't read are any of Jane Austen's (clutches throat), Gone With The Wind (preparing to be murdered in my bed tonight, but the movie was such a waste of 4 hours of my life, I can't imagine devoting any time to the book), most if Dicken's, yeah, there's a lot I haven't read. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-classic-books-youve-never-read#post-667036 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:44:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 667036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most, sadly :( I read a lot as a child but not as an adult and as a kid I read more young adult books.</p> <p>I think the only classics I've read are huckleberry Finn, the scarlet letter, to kill a mockingbird, a few Shakespeare plays, and Heidi.<br /> There were some I started reading and couldn't get through like heart of darkness and tale of two cities (so wordy!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-classic-books-youve-never-read#post-667035 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:43:42 +0000 Mrs. Fox 667035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never read anything by Thomas Hardy. He's on my list but these days my attention span is nonexistent. And I love reading but if I get five minutes to myself, I love sleeping more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-classic-books-youve-never-read#post-667029 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:29:40 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 667029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ice read everything mentioned do far except Moby Dick.</p> <p>I haven't read some HS classics like Animal Farm and Zlord of the Flies. </p> <p>But I would think I've definitely read most classics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-classic-books-youve-never-read#post-666954 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 21:06:20 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 666954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved The Great Gatsby!!

I have a copy, I really should read it.</p> <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I'm very much looking forward to The Great Gatsby. The book is pretty short. I bet you could read it in no time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-classic-books-youve-never-read#post-666871 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:25:57 +0000 Pepper 666871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never read Gone with the Wind, Pride and Prejudice, or Jane Eyre, to name a few.</p> <p>I read the Great Gatsby in high school, though I'd like to read it again before the movie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-classic-books-youve-never-read#post-666868 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:24:34 +0000 sunny 666868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pride and Prejudice.
