Alice in Wonderland
2 out of 5
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Honestly, I think you have to be a math nerd to fully appreciate this classic book. It is a very strange and weird book about the ability to change shape, sizes and figure based on math. During Carroll's day the idea or realization that there could be such a thing as "invisible" numbers didn't sit well with him. This story was his way of showing how ridiculous the possibility of the debatable math theories of his day were. Kids don't mind the nonsense of the book but for an adult, too strange.
Sense and Sensibility

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
I was very reluctant to read this book but I quickly found myself enjoying this pleasant, easy read. Jane did a beautiful job describing locations and developing characters. For me, this was a light read. One to enjoy when there is no one else around to gossip with. Maybe even read it while sipping some tea. ;o)
The Good Earth

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
I absolutely love this book. When reading this book I experienced every human emotion possible which is fantastic since the author is telling the life story of a man in China.The events are so heart pulling and evoked so much emotion that I almost had a love/hate relationship with this story, but in the end I am singing high praises. The Good Earth gives a wonderful glimpse into the Chinese culture. It is an emotional story about love, partnership, sacrifice and the understanding of where true happiness begins.
