Project #2: James Fenimore Cooper:The Last of the Mohicans
Well, this blog has already managed to reaffirm three deep convictions.
1.I'm too busy to read classics for pleasure.
2.So is everybody else.
3.Those rare people that aren't too busy are probably too lazy.
So, instead of getting discouraged and erasing this blog, I'm just going to start picking classics that are extremely entertaining (and were turned into amazing movies :)
With that in mind, The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, is our next project in the Tattered Book Club. If you have read it, please let us know what you thought. If you'd like to read along, get a copy. I'm shooting to have it done by mid-November, so we can move to a Christmas classic over the holidays.
Happy reading and special thanks for all your insights and comments!!! The wisdom expressed is hard to describe.

is the christmas classic going to be a christmas carol? because thats boring. you should do how the grinch stole christmas. or great expectations.
I'm actually thinking of reading a series of short stories or poems such as:
The Little Match-Seller by Hans Christian Anderson
The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
Christmas Bells and The Three Kings by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I'm open to other suggestions though!
o henry rocks. and so do short stories. yay for literature that caters to short attention spans!!!
