Tropical storm Hannah, you say? I remember watching the clouds move in for Hurricane Jeanne and thinking, this is a tornado in slow motion. Nice.

Okay, I have to give her credit for the Twain, I just wish that people would get to read more than Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer. There is so much more that makes Twain....well, Twain (personal favourite being Twain's criticism of Cooper and of course recognizing the brilliance in "A Connecticut Yankee...). Harper Lee - 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was a big one for me on the list of 'American Classics'. Ken Kesey's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Carson McCullers - The Heart is a Lonely Hunter John Steinbeck - Of Mice and Men, or The Red Pony, or the Grapes of Wrath Arthur Miller (she was thinking of a different Miller) - Death of a Salesman or The Crucible Tennessee Williams - Streetcar Named Desire or The Glass Menagerie August Wilson - (although to be fair he is definitely a playwright and some MIGHT dispute his inclusion - I think he counts as probably the best Af-Am U.S. playwright) Thornton Wilder - Our Town Edgar Lee Masters - Spoon River Anthology (although that is more a collection of poetry - but WOW talk about an insight into small town America) Alex Haley - Roots (although I'm sure EVERYONE has seen the series) Zora Neale Hurston - Their Eyes Were Watching God Thoreau - Walden (although personally I had trouble connecting with that one). Although there are a LOT of classics we can agree on too. *grins* I think we tend to find ourselves together on some of the more science fiction/fantasy classics - Burroughs, Poe, Asimov, Clarke etc. Hiya April!

Harper Lee - ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ was a big one for me on the list of ‘American Classics’.

Ken Kesey’s ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’

Carson McCullers - The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

John Steinbeck - Of Mice and Men, or The Red Pony, or the Grapes of Wrath

Arthur Miller (she was thinking of a different Miller) - Death of a Salesman or The Crucible

Tennessee Williams - Streetcar Named Desire or The Glass Menagerie

August Wilson - (although to be fair he is definitely a playwright and some MIGHT dispute his inclusion - I think he counts as probably the best Af-Am U.S. playwright)

Thornton Wilder - Our Town

Edgar Lee Masters - Spoon River Anthology (although that is more a collection of poetry - but WOW talk about an insight into small town America)

Alex Haley - Roots (although I’m sure EVERYONE has seen the series)

Zora Neale Hurston - Their Eyes Were Watching God

Thoreau - Walden (although personally I had trouble connecting with that one).

Although there are a LOT of classics we can agree on too. *grins* I think we tend to find ourselves together on some of the more science fiction/fantasy classics - Burroughs, Poe, Asimov, Clarke etc.
