    Slaughterhouse 5 is good if you like Vonnegut's sense of humor
    I haven't read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yet
    I borrowed To Kill a Mockingbird and yes, I read it in school like everyone else, but it's fun to read sometimes

    next Amazon gift card I get from a research study, I will probably get Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, it's a very unique manga in that it is a cozy post apocalyptic slice of life series which is very rare for post apocalyptic series.

    There was this one crappy fantasy book with no pictures I had to read for a book report.

    One scene described was this cold, cloudy day, as a group of men were riding horses over mud.

    blegh :confused:

    I got the first Moomin book translated into Esperanto by the people at the British Esperanto association. I like the illustrations in it, it is like a chapter book though. The second Moomin book is supposed to be released in Esperanto soon too

    I just found out that All Dogs Go To Heaven was originally a book and now I want it but it was like, only printed in the 40s and even banged up copies are almost a hundred bucks. I have a mighty need.

    Yeah, I was lucky that I got my Heart Quest novels when I did because the full set jumped up in price from 80 to well over 200 dollars

    The Lord of the Rings trilogy in Esperanto is insanely expensive too

    Yes but I have been trying to grab as many illustrated editions as possible. My lord of the rings set is the Alan Lee set

    as a kid (and now) I don't mind lack of pics when it's "encyclopedic" or nonfiction (or at least as much)
