Thanks! I'm actually homeschooling my 12yo daughter using a classical curriculum.
Around the World in Eighty Days is the first novel in this curriculum and others are
Kidnapped and
The Diary of Anne Frank. We had a poetry unit which included
The Charge of the Light Brigade. I'm enjoying rereading books from my childhood and helping my daughter see the beauty of well written literature.
Slaughter House Five was first assigned to me in high school and it is the only assigned book I ever reread on my own. I've read it at least five or six times. Just about everything I've ever read by Kurt Vonnegut qualifies for classic status.
