Generally, I'm not a massive fan of classics, but I do love tha Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

Those are the only two I have really read and paid any mind too. (Read them outside of school) I intend to read more classics once my schedule calms down a bit.

Have you read any of the modern sequels about The Artful Dodger? There are a couple of good ones, but at least 14 of them around last I looked! The Christmas book about him is the December group read in one of my reading groups.

Not yet. But It's a good idea, Thank you Mika.

I recommend the Charlton Daines books, though James Benmore would be my second choice. There is also a fairly good one about Timothy Cratchit grown up called Tim Cratchit's Christmas Carol by Jim Piecuch. It's better than the other sequel to A Christmas Carol, Mr Timothy, IMO.

I'm currently reading A Christmas With The Dodger by Daines with a group for our December read. This one may become an annual read for me.
