Uris definitely leans towards soapy, but he generally keeps it just on the acceptable side of the line for me.

I too have not read all the books I did pairings with haha.<br /><br />And I LOVE that Hitchhiker's is on your list because it absolutely should be taught in school! Not only do we need more sci-fi/fantasy in our curriculum, but it's so funny!

Mr. Uris really did like his heroes larger than life and his storylines soap operaesque, something which Mr. Hersey didn't get into.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48772003452748741.post-36020349369889205302013-09-03T07:45:49.665-05:002013-09-03T07:45:49.665-05:00I love all your pairings!

I can understand the The Perks of Being a Wallflower/Catcher in the Rye. Pairing The Book Thief/Anne Frank is a bang on great idea. I wouldn't really pair the Hunger Games with 1984 but that's only because I haven't read the Hunger Games. Great list. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://raindropsandpages.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/top-ten-tuesday-2/" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48772003452748741.post-18449082766011813572013-09-02T23:04:49.405-05:002013-09-02T23:04:49.405-05:00I think everyone should read The Book Thief!I think everyone should read The Book Thief!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
