Yes I'd imagine that is about your reading level

[MTVN]

Forgot about Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, that might be my 5th actually ahead of Angels & Demons

Great answer! Simon's my favourite literary character ever. I love the symbolism behind his character and just the way he contrasts the general attitude in the book. He's a great character!

Out of the gate
and off for a walk
went Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy




and Hercules Morse
as big as a horse

with Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy





Bottomley Potts
covered in spots
Hercules Morse
as big as a horse

and Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy




Muffin McLay
like a bundle of hay,
Bottomly Potts
all covered in spots,
Hercules Morse
as big as a horse

and Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy





Bitzer Maloney
all skinny and bony,
Muffin McLay
like a bundle of hay,
Bottomly Potts
covered in spots,
Hercules Morse
as big as a horse

and Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy





Schnitzel von Krumm
with a very low tum,
Bitzer Maloney
all skinny and bony,
Muffin McLay
like a bundle of hay,
Bottomly Potts
covered in spots,
Hercules Morse
as big as a horse

and Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy





With tails in the air
they trotted on down
past the shops and the park
to the far end of town.
They sniffed at the smells
and they snooped at each door,
when suddenly,
out of the shadows
they
saw...




SCARFACE CLAW
the toughest Tom
in
town.





"EEEEEOWWWFFTZ!"
said Scarface Claw.




Off with a yowl,
a wail and a howl,
a scatter of paws
and a clatter of claws,
went Schnitzel von Krumm
with a very low tum,
Bitzer Maloney
all skinny and bony,
Muffin McLay
like a bundle of hay,
Bottomly Potts
covered in spots,
Hercules Morse
as big as a horse




and Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy



straight back home
to bed.

Yeah, we studied the book in school, I loved it, might re read it again actually

[MTVN]

Good old Scarface Claw

[Novo]

Can't be a true story because Schnitzel von Krumm would have ripped Scarface Claw apart

[MTVN]

Rubbish, you can see he's the first to bottle it and sprint off

[Novo]

Looks like Bitzer Maloney was the only one who stayed and challenged Scarface Claw judging from that pic

[Niall]

I don't think I could possibly rank them but these are probably my top 5:
-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K Rowling.
-1984, by George Orwell.
-Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins.
-Insurgent, by Veronica Roth.
-The Amber Spyglass, by Phillip Pullman.

[Roy Mars III]

The Count of Monte Cristo- Alexandre Dumas (hands down the greatest books ever written)
The Great Gatsby- F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Prince- Niccolo Machiavelli
Othello- Shakespeare
The Brothers Karamazov- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

[Livia]

Dracula - Bram Stoker... undoubtedly my favourite book ever.
Nineteen Eighty Four - Orwell... didn't understand it at school, loved it when I read it because I wanted to.
Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger... for me, the greatest American novel.
Hearts in Atlantis - Stephen King... a series of connected stories. One of the best books from one of the best-selling writers whoI think is sadly underrated by the Literati.
The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood... incredibly clever novel within a novel, totally absorbing.
