#5 (Classic #1) Heidi by Johanna Spyri. Great story. I've read it before but had forgotten much of the story. A good one to start with!
One of my goals for this year is to read some classic books. I've been reading about the Common Core for schools and the fact that they are de-emphasizing classic fiction. I feel that this is a very poor idea. Then I remembered a newspaper article , The Top 100 Classic Books to Read.'. Found it and a few other similar articles and collated tham. So, my top 100 list has 214 books on it with many still missing books that I will add as I think of them. This will be a multi-year project.
