Haha, I hardly think most of this list qualifies as kids' books.


I would have thought they would torture you with this kind of stuff in high school. That's where I read most of it.

Hey, I love Jane Austen. But I've been reading Regency England novels for most of my life, so....


Yeah, I was kind of curious why there were no classics. Like, things that have to be translated from Latin and/or Greek.
