The Diamond as Big as the Ritz - Pure fantasy
Really vivid fantasy...unless... Perhaps I'll take a trip out West, into the mountains.
The Man with Two Left Feet and Other Stories - Old Fashioned Fun
Wodehouse is one of my new favorites.
Tom Swift and His Submarine Boat - A wild ride
Interesting easy read. It will tell you what the world thought of inventors in a simpler time. Of course, it has all the usual Swift adventures along the way.
Tom Swift and His Sky Racer - Of course it's not great literature...
...but it is a classic. Reading it will tell you what the world thought of inventors and their marvelous productions in this much simpler time.
The Jungle - Not a ray of sunshine
This is possibly the most depressing book ever written...but still worth the effort.
Walden - Now I know why it was so difficult to read 40 years ago.
Finished it and am happy that I found DailyLit to do so...made it less painful to digest this very dense classic.
