I've been doing ThrowbackThursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. So, I post more than one Throwback every week. These are my reviews from August to October 2014.
Gaarder, Jostein "Sophie's World" (Norwegian: Sofies verden) - 1991
This is not a book you will want to read within a couple of days. There is a lot of information in this book. We could call it a philosophy class.
McCulloch, Colleen "The Thorn Birds" - 1977
An epic saga. The story of the Cleary family over two generations coming from New Zealand to Australia in the early Twenties of the last century and also moves to London and Rome. But the main story is told in New Zealand, how a family settles in a strange country and goes through all the hardships you can imagine.

Montgomery, L. M. (Lucy Maud) "Anne of Green Gables" - 1908
An orphan girl is taken in by a childless couple and she really loves both her new parents as well as the school and the neighbours and everything but still gets into a lot of trouble all the time. The novel is both humorous as well as serious.

See, Lisa "Peony in Love" - 2007
This is a magical story about a young girl called Peony who lives in the seventeenth century.
I read 'Sophies World' eons ago... and really liked it. VERY clever and generated a LOT of thoughts to play with. Thanks for the memory!
