I think there are an awful lot of worthwhile books out there that everyone can appreciate and gain perspective from. :) <BR/><BR/>I'll be printing all of these lists up to get them all organized and sorted during an upcoming road trip.

It's very good with alot of good suggestions (you had said it was mostly compiled by Catholic homeschoolers and that influenced some of the choices is why I say that).<BR/><BR/>This is a great idea and thank you for posting it. I also think it's great that you suggested With of Blackbird Pond. I've known some Christian and Catholic groups who ban it just for the title alone.<BR/><BR/>Very nice job!!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392415064308526082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14961982.post-20102317816476071952007-06-01T09:09:00.000-05:002007-06-01T09:09:00.000-05:00Yes, it would be good Alicia to code them.
