The Broads were issued a challenge this week from one special listener: find classic books that don't suck. Challenge. Accepted. So this week we're giving you picks that are classic in every way, but are also damn good. Along the way we talk about the Broads' classic falls, revisit the great "do you the break the binding" debate, and dissect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cream pies. For reals. __________________This week's picks include: Fiction:Amy: Jane Eyre, Charlotte BronteErin:  Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale HurstonOther Books:Amy: "Still I Rise," Maya Angelou (Poetry) (and watch her performance of the poem)Erin: "Death of a Salesman," Arthur Miller (Play)Pop Culture:Amy: Splendor in the Grass (Movie)Erin: The Royal Tenenbaums (Movie)________________Like what you hear?
