Also, love the Dorothy Parker and while you didn't put it on your list, but did mention it, "Through the Looking Glass" would have been great too.<br /><br />http://wellreadfish.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-womans-worth.htmlThe Well Read Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167945406739745504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363083790678357618.post-77025694164630436572013-04-28T16:17:30.598-07:002013-04-28T16:17:30.598-07:00Not a stupid question at all, Kristen!

I know about annotated bibliographies and books because of my background as an English major; I had teachers who required us to make our own versions. Really all it means is notes. If you have ever read a book and marked up the pages with definitions or information, that is an annotation.<br />You know how sometimes when you are reading you come across something unfamiliar or interesting, and you look it up to find out more information? An annotated version has basically already done that for you, with notes and interesting facts written in at the bottom and/or sides of the novel. <br />I just think they are fun; you learn about the author, the story, and the choices that were made, and you find out fun little tidbits concerning the literature.<br />(Hope my little novella here helped; I think the teacher in me just showed up for a little while!)<br />Oh, and have you seen the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird? It is fantastic as well!<br />LoriRebecca and Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738237580274346499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363083790678357618.post-3481692387680524602013-04-28T16:10:52.806-07:002013-04-28T16:10:52.806-07:00Martha, I love The Hunger Games (and Katniss!) too...Martha, I love The Hunger Games (and Katniss!) too.
