<p>Alright, I have a bit of a problem. I just got a GIGANTIC project today that’s due in one month - I have to read a fiction book that pertains to European History from 1350 to 1850. The project isn’t that difficult, it’s just a lot of components. My question is what have you read lately (or for the class) that you’ve enjoyed? I would love some suggestions…</p>
<p>Candide by Voltaire</p>
<p>Quote: “All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds”</p>
<p>Ah, Pangloss! :)</p>
<p>We just finished reading Candide in my English class and it was a lot better than I expected.</p>
<p>hmmm… We read Girl With A Pearl Earring</p>
<p>It is relatively recent (2003 I think)</p>
<p>I really liked it too, and it isn’t that long.</p>
<p>Oh, wow… Sarum by Edward Rutherford… ha ha, no, actually, that’s like, England from 10,000 BC to the 1980’s. I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for. It’s an awfully good novel, though–until it gets up to the modern day. Then it’s not nearly as interesting.</p>
<p>Well… there is the Here Be Dragons, Falls the Shadow, and The Reckoning, by Sharon Kay Penman. It’s a historical trilogy about 13th Century Wales and England. I loved it very much. It was one of those series that you just never want to end!</p>
<p>I second Candide.</p>
<p>The book itself is short, but it has a lot you can do with it…my Euro teacher soph year recommended we read it.</p>
<p>Frankenstein!!! we’re reading that book now for Euro</p>
