I think that it is impossible for us to understand all of luis carolls work. Not only was the guy a little fucked up even for his time, but then there were direct references to his relationships with alice in the books and those requrie intimate knowlege of them to understand. Some of his closer friends have given account as to some of these after his death, but most are lost. Yes the book may be the shadow of a darker mind. however I think it both makes a harmless childrens book seeing as they could hardly understand the complexities of the situation. and it makes a great book for a criticle reader and hobby psychoanalilt.
Animal Farm
Of Mice and Men
The Edgar Allan Poe Collection(don't call me emo, i just like the darkness 0f him. His better work has a very nice creepyness that I can't get from horror movies anymore)
I read many new things, but I think these are my favorites because they were the first of their kind that I read in my youth.
