The book I remember reading in the fifth grade was Flowers In The Attic. I think that age is perfect for the gothic and dramatic, although my age (22 almost --ha ha!) now seems fairly rife with it.Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-34706768274581764272008-11-24T17:12:00.000-05:002008-11-24T17:12:00.000-05:00I agree wholeheartedly that this is definitely one...I agree wholeheartedly that this is definitely one I wish I could go back and read for the first time again. I didn't read it until I was in college. I've been trying to figure out the best time to get my teenage sisters to read it as well. I loved it when I read it and I thin I would have enjoyed it just as much at a younger age, but I don't want to give it to them at the wrong time and have them not love it like I did. <BR/><BR/>As for films, I too love the Joan Fontaine version. Don't know who I would cast today either. I love Matthew McFayden in the latest P&P, though, and could see him as my Rochester as well.Becky LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030931605009567165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-35737565473475656722008-11-24T10:29:00.000-05:002008-11-24T10:29:00.000-05:00Two words: Meat Loaf.Two words: Meat Loaf.PigHelmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725612892401962163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-85440446346969940712008-11-24T07:25:00.000-05:002008-11-24T07:25:00.000-05:00The Chameleon...Edward Norton.
