WAR OF THE LITERATI

12-09-2000, 07:01 AM

Literature is my passion. Of course, I won't have liked every book on the list -- I didn't care for "Wuthering Heights" -- but oh well. You will grow tired of my list quickly, I fear.

The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit - 40
1984 - 7
6 Jane Austen Books -- Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, & Persuasion - 60
And if anyone tells me any of Jane Austen's books isn't a classic, I can argue about that subject for a long time!
Lorna Doone (by Blackmoore) - 8 (classic or romance?)
Wuthering Heights - 10
Jane Eyre & Villette - 20
Ivanhoe - 10
Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, A Christmas Carol - 30
Kim, The Jungle Book, The Just So Stories - 20
Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, Henry V, A Merchant in Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, Henry VIII, Romeo and Juliet - 8*10=80
The Grapes of Wrath - 10
The Age of Innocence - 10
The Scarlet Letter & The House of the 7 Gables - 20
Uncle Tom's Cabin - 7
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court - 30
Little Women, An Old-Fashioned Girl, and 3 others - 8*5=40 (romance, right?)
The Good Earth - 10
The Great Gatsby - 10
The Old Man In the Sea - 10
The Call of the Wild - 10
Gone With the Wind - 10
The Yearling - 10 (right?)
The Wonderful O, The Thirteen Clocks, The White Deer, Many Moons - 20 (what does one do with classic whimsy?)
To Kill a Mockingbird - 10
Quo Vadis, by Sienkiewicz - 10
Le Petit Prince, by De Saint-Exupéry, Antoine - 8
The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers - 20
The Phantom of the Opera - 8
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn - 8 (Not sure what this is)
The Approaching Fury, by Oates (history) - 7
Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, & 7 novels, by George MacDonald - 65
How the Irish Saved Civilization, by Cahill (ibid) - 7
Does religious count as philosophy? This part is hard to tally!
God's Smuggler, For Love of My Brothers, by Brother Andrew - 14 (I'm calling them history; they're really autobiography/religion)
The Cost of Discipleship, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer - 8
The Screwtape Letters, Pilgrim's Regress, The Great Divorce - 8
The Space Trilogy, by C. S. Lewis - 24? (decide, O Most Learned Judge!
The Chronicles of Narnia - 42? (ibid!)
A Man Called Peter, Christy, Julie - 21
In His Steps, by Sheldon - 8
Hind's Feet on High Places, Mountains of Spices, by Hurnard - 16
The Robe, Magnificent Obsession, Green Light, White Banners, The Big Fisherman, by Lloyd Douglas - 40
Blood Brothers, by Chacour (hist) - 7
Justice and Only Justice, by Naim Ateek - 8
Madeleine L'Engle - 25 books - 125
L. M. Montgomery - 15 books - 75
Dorothy L. Sayers - 4 books - 16 (these are VERY high quality mysteries -- perhaps you will allow me more than 4 pts each?)
The Scarlet Pimpernel (!!!), 4 books - 32
That's enough for now! ;-P Poetry later.
1069 pts.
