The Wind in the Willows

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

This book has to do with a Toad and some other animals. I had trouble with narration and just could not focus on it.

Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery

This audiobook has very good narration. Anne is an orphan who lost her family. An old brother and sister in rural maritime Canada want an orphan boy to come help them on the farm. They get Anne instead. They want to send her back. However, the super chatty Anne ends up winning them over. She is always talking and daydreaming. She has various mishaps, such as messing up recipes, getting her friend drunk and dying her hair green. However, she also has also been very helpful at times (such as helping a sick kid.) She is always innocently chatting and dreaming. She is also a a smart, hard worker who is loyal to others. She ends up winning a scholarship to study away from home. However, she decides to stay so she could take care of her guardian (who is now alone after her brother died.) Anne just can't help but drive you crazy while making you want to love her.

Orthodoxy

Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton

This is Chesterton's positive view on his journey and acceptance of Christianity. He wrote it after his more "negative" book, "Heretics". In it he looks at some of the paradoxes and scientific challenges. Instead of seeing those as challenges to religion, he sees those as extra proof that religion has an important place in our lives and that we should adopt it. The rational approach to religion seems in line with a scientific world-view.
