Good point! Some books are, unfortunately, not God-honoring and are still considered among the best works in literature. Why? I think, personally, that is because they give us universal questions to think over. We apply our worldviews, Christian or not, to what we see, hear, think about and read. The best books really make us question what we are evaluating, they get us to ask ourselves things like: What does this mean to me? Why is this important to the character, and should it be important to me? True, some books are for pure entertainment and that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. But fame is gained in many ways, and thought-provoking material is a good tagline. Indeed, some of the most famous books in our literary world are evidently non-Christian, which is why we should be careful, obviously, about what we allow to impact us. If we are strong in our faith, really knowing what we believe, then anti-God or God dishonoring books may help us to ask some questions about what our priorities should be. Thank you, Sarah, for bringing up that good point!

Pinnochio was strange, I think I like the movie better!

Little Women rocked, gotta read that ‘un! Anne of Green Gables, The Count of Monte Cristo and A Little Princess were all verra good…funny, I didn’t like The Seceret Garden nearly as much!

Lost Horizon (except for the ending) was boring; Heart of Darkness stank, The Illiad was ok but The Odyssey, ugh! I couldn’t even finish it; Green Mansions was sad but pretty, The Hound of the Baskervilles was spooky and delicious, The Wind in the Willows was so dreadfully eleborate that we almost stopped reading it aloud but are now quite glad we didn’t, and Around the World in 80 Days is like that and much better then 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which I am now working on. Ben-Hur wasn’t as good as The Robe, Great Expectations was meloncholy but worth the effort to read, A Christmas Carol should be read by everyone, and I’ll post back later when I have consulted my Archives!!!!!!
