Harry I grew up stealing little orange Penguins from my dad's overstuffed bookshelf ("Nineteen Eighty-Four" was my first). Now that I have a collection of my own, I hope my future children will steal them (and love them) as much as me.
Patricia Bernadette Hanlon The Great Gatsby - jus reread it. Get some Aldous Huxley in Penguin and I can learn to think all over again.
Sophia Lowcock My Family and Other Animals. I never liked the old smelly books my Dad used to try to get me to read but I loved this one. Gerald Durrell is hilarious!
Loc Bob Fortune Of mice and men. still one of the most moving books ever written
David Sheridan Real malenky horrowshow, with lots of the ulta-violence from a tolchoking gulliver! A Cockwork Orange is fantastically frightening! A great little viddy.
Rachel I just finished A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole and loved it. Any chance of The Neon Bible being published as Popular Penguin too?
Popular Penguins Did you know that Kurt Vonnegut was born today in 1922?

i think it is a fantastic idea to publish these books at $9.95 - not alot of people can afford the average $30 for a book they'll read once. you have made good literature more accessible!
love them! can't wait to read my new copy of Capote's Breakfast at Tiffanys!
Myles O'Neill Personally my opinion is that the lack of cover art in the new range makes the books look more uniform and boring rather than expressing the diversity and beauty in the range. Just an opinion. But penguin is obviously a fantastic publisher regardless of the covers they use.
Thelma Have Penguin released any George Orwell yet? I've been looking everywhere for a cheap copy of 1984
Karen stay orange :)
Lyndall Coles 'Love in the time of cholera' is a great read.
Dietrich Risin yay physics yay
