[OPLINLIST] Book suggestions?

[Chris Labib]

Hello,

I highly recommend the "Cracked Classics" by Tony Abbott. It's about two
friends and their adventures as they go into classic novels ("Dracula,"
"Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "Around the World in 80 Days," "A Christmas
Carol," and "Romeo and Juliet"). Still speaking from personal reading
experience, so this is an older title as well, but "The Icemark Chronicles"
by Stuart Hill was also an incredible fantasy adventure.
