Some of the titles on those lists made me shake my head in dismay. But most of them were of the 'classic' variety. Somehow, though, I don't think most of those kids were going to get much out of those books. Several of them were so far removed from modern day experience, you really need the distance of your own age to appreciate them. Know what I mean? Still, it's better than nothing.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-89803537894819013412011-02-07T14:43:22.389-05:002011-02-07T14:43:22.389-05:00Hi Yvette!

They were a nice view into the childhood's of girls from the rural past.<br /><br />My HS also required reading quite a few of the classics as part of our education. I was mad about it then, but grateful now! I'm sure I would have never read those amazing authors, which led to other amazing authors over the years. Do HS have required reading lists these days? I hope so!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.com
