Weekdays would find me reciting these two:

Collected Poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay

Bulfinch's Mythology

And then my weekends would be spent stalking & listening to folks who had memorized anything of Richard Feynman & John Irving.

Wow, what a sweeeeet topic!!!

Shocked

He is incredible.

I did memorize a book by heart in high school...Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? by Dr. Seuss. Does that count? It's a great book. Smile

And poor Mr. Potter,
t crosser, i dotter.
He has to cross t's
and he has to dot i's
in an i and t factory
out in Van Nuys.

But seriously, since someone's got The Grapes of Wrath already, I guess I'll go with...ooh this is tough! I think I'll choose The Scarlet Letter. We can't lose that one.

I would memorize The Great Gatsby.

So I could feel awefully witty and articulate every time I recited it. Razz

Gatsby is a good one.

Since that's taken, I'll bring up one that nobody has mentioned yet, and that is every book in the entire Henry Potter series.

Ever since they came out I've been totally ADDICTED!!! I even tried to make my bedroom look like one of the dorm rooms in Slitherin'. I am a total Henry Potter Fan!!! The BIGGEST fan!!!

And anyone who says it has anything to do with Witch Craft or magic, you're totally WRONG and a hateful biggot who has nothing better to do then want to burn books, because you fear LEARNING!!!

Hmmm, so Pride and Prejudice, the Harry Potter series, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the Bible are all taken...let's see...

For my pleasure:

Beauty: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and Rose Daughter, both by Robin McKinley, because I can never have enough of that fairy tale;

The Little House books, by Laura Ingalls Wilder, because reading about her move from The Big Woods to the prairie led me down a path that passed Green Gables, too;

my copy of The Princess Bride, because the book is humorous in and of itself;

Gone with the Wind, because I am still in love with Margaret Mitchell's description of the landscape of the South, and because Scarlett is such an interesting character (whom I want to slap, most times).

For the greater good:

anything written by Jack London and E. A. Poe; the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Okay, I'll also do half of Edward Gorey's works.

Someone else will have to claim the rest.

"A is for Amy who fell down the stairs . . . "

Shocked
