3. Matilda by Roald Dahl - she teaches herself to read and by the age of 5 and 1/2, she's read all the children's books in the library...
4. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (Hermione is one book-smart girl!)
5. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen...“Miss Eliza Bennet,” said Miss Bingley, “despises cards. She is a great reader, and has no pleasure in anything else.”
6. Anne of Green Gables by Elizabeth Montgomery. Anne Shirley: "Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?"
7. 84 Charing Cross Road by Helen Hanff, is collection of correspondence, from 1949-1969, between Helene and a book buyer at an antiquarian bookseller in London. It's basically a lovefest for out-of-print books, the bookstore Marks and Co., and British culture.
8. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Guy Montag goes from burning books to rescuing them.
