But did you realise you’ve listed Anne of Green Gables twice?
Oh, danke für’s bemerken, das ist mir gar nicht aufgefallen… wie peinlich. *blush*
Ah, but if you read Anne of Green Gables, you will read it, surely, more than once. (-; Beautiful blog. Great taste.
I’ve even read it more than once already. :)
Long John Silver by Björn Larsson
Sewer, Gas and Electric: THE PUBLIC WORKS TRILOGY by Matt Ruff
or, if an university fairytale is welcome:

The Thursday Next novels are already through several times. And yes, I’ve still got that conversation paper with the recommendation for “fool on the hill”. ;)
The others aren’t classics of that kind, are they? I’ll keep them in mind, though.
