Peter & Wendy (aka Peter Pan)
By J.M. Barrie
Oh the things you could get away with in a children's novel 99 years ago. Most of Tink's lines were "You're an ass" there was a lot of death, and a mention of orgys! Aside from that I really enjoyed
The Scarlet Pimpernel
By Baroness Emmuska Orczy
Classic #9 this year. Sadly kinda predictable, but I think that's more because others have used the techniques that were
Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
By Eric Larson
The worlds fair in Chicago, and a serial murderer. Damn good story. We originally started listening to this as an audiobook, but the library was missing a disk right in the middle. A pair of 6 hour flights gave me plenty of time to finish it.
Hunger Games
By Suzanne Collins
A scary future. I'm curious about how the series is going to continue. I have a few ideas, based on how the first book went, but they aren't really telegraphing.
I believe that brings me up to 10/29 classics for the year so far. 34.5%
