20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne
Ok...
So, I read this book for a book report on a classic book. I had already tried Les Miserables and just couldn't get the hang of it. This book totally saved me.
This book is for those people who can think back to the 1800's when submarines weren't around, and we didn't know what was out there.
PS. Hey, Bonnie, Peirre Aronnax is FRENCH.
Whose Body?
by Dorothy L. Sayers
Dorothy L. Sayers was and remains one of the best examples of the mystery writing genre. Though on the surface, her Lord Peter Whimsey mysteries seem like frivolous "parlor whodunnits", there is a deeper undercurrent of social context in her work, hidden under a lighthearted charade in the same way that Lord Peter hides the darker side of himself behind his foppish demeanor. Readers will fall in love with Lord Peter's wit and his vulnerability.
This is the first of the Lord Peter mysteries, and one of the better ones (in my opinion), though it's also one of the more easily solved. Even so, I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery!
I would love to see the other Lord Peter books here, as well!
