Has anyone in here read any Lewis Carroll ?

[polm]

I've seen a few Alice in Wonderland movies, but thats it.

I have always liked the story, and wondered if the original books by Lewis Carrol were a good read.

AiW was a required reading in my literature class in HS. It's good, but odd. Slightly off. Wait, you've seen more than one AiW movie? There's more than just the original cartoon?

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are both good reads, and they shouldn't take you too long either.

There was a 1985 mini-series of both AIW and TTLG that was excellent.

I love the wabe.

I've read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

TTLG is better but AiW is necessary to really appreciate it.

BTW he was a creepy pedophile.
