Sounds like "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Unless you're talking about Bob Marley...

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain.

Hopefully this one will stump you:

"Women on their own run in Alice's family."

"On the Road" - J. Kerouac

This is a guess since I don't actually remember.

Sorry about mine, guys, I had to go out of town unexpectedly for a funeral. It was "A Life on the Road" by Charles Kuralt.

My guess for the current one is Silas Marner by AAHHH I can't remember.

no problem, azalea. I actually looked it up (google is a wonderful thing) after my "guess", but felt it would be cheating to post it.

(I think silas marner is by george eliot, az)

Imladris?
