Mr. Lamothe's Reading List
Charlotte's Web
by E. B. White
"Charlotte's Web" by E. B. White was always one of my favorite books, even as an adult. One of the things that most impressed me about the story was how well the author depicts Charlotte as the epitomy of what a true friend is. In the book Charlotte stands completely behind Wibur and does all she can to both console Wilbur, build Wilbur's confidence, and ultimately save his life. Lord of the Rings
by JRR Tolkein
I read The Hobbit and all three books of the Lord of the Rings trilogy when I was in high school. The imaginary world that Tolkein creates in Middle Earth facinated me. Dune
by Frank Herbert
I read Dune when I was out of college. Frank Herbert's world on Arakis, the desert planet is a story with many intricacies that captured my interest. I especially liked his use of the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and honor.
