<p>If anyone could help me find some common theme for about 5-8 of the following 12 books/plays I'd be greatly indebted to them:
Les Miserables
Our Town
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas
Taming of the Shrew
The Fountainhead
Brief History of Time
The Importance of Being Earnest
On Love
The Shadowlands
Crying of Lot 49
The Things They Carried
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</p>
<p>I'm supposed to write a 8-10 page paper that address some common theme for a program I'm in. My problem is just that the books I chose over the years don't really have any common theme at all...
the 60s counterculture + slavery + failed romances + physics + war + shakespeare = ????</p>
