Some American and English books read and estimated by a foreigner:
The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. BTW the first real novel I ever read. I got it from my granddad forty years ago. "'Tis a good one - read it!" I still hear his voice when I see the worn red back of it.
Green Hills of Africa and Twenty-four Short Stories by the same Hemingway. Most of his book are worth reading.
Leaves of Grass by Whitman.
Sonetts by Shakespeare. A highlight of lyrics!
Hunter by J.A.Hunter
Kubla Khan by Coleridge.
The Harry Potter books are great to read.
Bill by Richmal Crompton was a beloved figure in books for lads in the sixties.
Old Sh.
OT - All Time Favorite Books ???
