If you got to choose which 4 of these books to study in 8th grade, which would you pick, and why? Kate's online school stuff started today (yay!) and she (or I) gets to pick which 4 of these to read this year. • Animal Farm by George Orwell • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte • Lord of the Flies by William Golding • A Separate Peace by John Knowles • A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens • To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee • The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings via Facebook
