I've not heard of any that you all have listed. . .but that's alright.
My next five will be something as follows, I hope -
Nelson by I don't remember - because I would really like to learn about Horatio Nelson. He seems like an interesting chap and I love that time period.
The Unkown Shore by Patrick O'Brian - has to do with ships, which is fun.
Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickons - excellent book - I've read it before, but I want to read it again because it is excellent and it's been a few years.
Boys of '76 by I don't remember either - Interesting account of the Revolutionary War written by a man who lived in the Civil War period.
Might read
Jane Eyre, too, by Charlotte Brontė, but I'm not certain. If not that, then maybe
Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. Because it's an excellent book and I didn't understand it last time I read it.
