125) Read the "100 Best Novels List" by the Radcliffe Publishing Course
5 down, 95 to go
5-Dec-2003 - Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
Of all the books I have read so far on the list, this has been my absolute favourite. I am now trying to find a copy of the movie, as I would love to see what they do with it, but unfortunately my video store doesn't have it. I may just have to buy it.
Why did this make the list?
Because I love to read! For as long as I can remember I have been an avid reader. As a child, I would take my current book with me wherever I went, and read whenever I had opportunity to. You can see from my adventure list that I kind of went overboard with the reading lists. So many books, so little time.
Before I found this list, I had already read The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. I hated the first but thoroughly enjoyed the last three and wouldn't mind reading them again.
