I cant guarantee youll shriek, Where have you BEEN all my life if you pick up, say, Gargantuan and Pantagruel. But Ive had two separate friends express their startled delight that Anna Karenina is not only not too hard for mere mortals to read, but is in fact a moving and engrossing read and a ripping good one at that. I myself missed out on To Kill A Mockingbird until I was in my 4. I only finally read it because I got too embarrassed about having to admit that I hadnt and Im a lousy liar. So Daddy Long Legs is an absolute delight. I figured it would be cute and, given how long ago it was written, probably pretty sappy. Thats okay. I can deal with a little sap. Sometimes I even like it.

Put it to you this way My son decided to read this after he kept cracking up from all the bits I read out loud to him at the breakfast table. Carlito`S Way: Rise To Power Full Movie Part 1 on this page. Hes a sixteen year old EDM aficionado. If youre still holding out, I dont know what to tell you. This is the story of a girl who insists on being her own spiky, sharp, funny self in spite of growing up in an orphanage whose goal, as Jerusha puts it, is to turn the ninety seven orphans into ninety seven twins. This is not virtue rewarded in the usual sense of the phrase. Jerusha is given a scholarship to college thanks to her excellent writing. The essay that snagged her this scholarship was a bitterly funny piece about the orphanage. I LOVE the fact that Jerusha escapes a horrible situation by speaking up about how awful it is. Yes, Ive been reading too many Regency era novels about how women who suffer ills and abuses patiently are rewarded. This book was the perfect antidote. Heres something else I didnt expect from this book a Salinger connection. Watch Where Hope Grows 4Shared' title='Watch Where Hope Grows 4Shared' />I recently reread The Catcher in the Rye. If youve read it, too, youll probably recall that the narrator, Holden Caulfield, starts this book having less than a wonderful day. Specifically, he just found out hes being expelled from his swanky boarding school. He goes to his room to try to relax with a book Id only read about three pages, though, when I heard somebody coming through the shower curtains. Even without looking up, I knew right away who it was. It was Robert Ackley, this guy that roomed right next to me. Nobody ever called him anything except Ackley. Not even Herb Gale, his own roommate, ever called him Bob or even Ack. If he ever gets married, his own wifell probably call him Ackley. Thats a funny passage. It also emphasizes Ackleys name. It becomes clear very quickly that Holden isnt fond of Ackley at the best of times. Today he finds him particularly annoying because Ackley wont let him read. No matter how often Holden hints that hes reading, or at least hed like to be, annoying Ackley just wont leave. Okay. Big deal. Way to be random, Deborah. EXCEPT. Here is a wonderful passage from Daddy Long Legs, part of a chapter in which the narrator has been listing all the reasons its been a lousy day at school. Jerusha has mentioned earlier that the best part of every day for her is the evening, when she curls up to read not assigned reading, but just plain books to make up for all the lost time at the bookless orphanage. Friday is sweeping day, and the maid had mixed all the papers on my desk. We had tombstone for dessert milk and gelatin flavored with vanilla. We were kept in chapel twenty minutes later than usual to listen to a speech about womanly women. And then just as I was settling down with a sigh of well earned relief to The Portrait of a Lady, a girl named Ackerly, a dough faced, deadly, unintermittently stupid girl, who sits next to me in Latin because her name begins with A, came to ask if Mondays lesson commenced at paragraph 6. ONE HOUR. She has just gone. Am I one of those Salinger conspiracy theorist weirdos, or does it sound like Salinger liked Daddy Long Legs and paid it a strange little tribute in his best known bookYou should read Daddy Long Legs and decide for yourself. If youve already read it but its been a long time, you should read it again and see how much fun it is to read classics when youre a chronological grownup and can decide for yourself what you feel like reading.
