Nina recommends Pippi Longstocking

I'm sure everybody knows the story of Pippi Longstocking. When I was re-reading it recently I suddenly felt like the person I was at 5. I was a happy kid who had a lot of dreams and played a lot of games. I recommend this book because it helps the reader remember who she was and where he came from. It is like a time machine to the land of smiles.

If you like weird stories with mad characters and poems without any logic, then you would love Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carrol. Everybody knows what these books are about, and even has read them already. I'd recommend that you read them again - from the point of view of a relatively grown-up person, not of a child... and you'll be surprised how many imporatnt things are said there. I hope you'll see them and like the book even more.

-Mariya

Lewis Carrol shows us the world of a girl the way she sees it using her unlimited imagination. Everything seems nonsense to the reader but that's the point- he shouldn't try to understand it. He should enjoy the book and Alice's adventures and remember the wonderlands and creatures from his childhood.

-Mina

As childish as it may sound, the book I liked the most from all the outside reading books this year was Alice in Wonderland. I've always thought that this was just a kid's book, but it was a lot more. I loved the style of the author and definitely the original ideas. The movie that was recently released was totally awful and it was very different from the book. There is an animated movie from the 1950s, which is very accurate, and if you're wondering whether or not to read the book, you should see it.

Andrey and Mina recommend...

The Little Prince is considered a childish book for grown-ups. Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote his masterpiece to show people their lost imagination as they are becoming older and older. I recommend it to each person who has forgotten his or her beautiful world of naivete somewhere in the space of business and facts and figures.

-Andrey

I can't imagine a person who hasn't heard of that book. It is a lovely story about a little prince and his life. You know his little planet, his unique rose, and his tamed fox. A small book with deep meaning. I don't know a person who doesn't like the book.
