Hello!
It's Literary Update Time.
Did you know that being sick is a great opportunity? For me, anyways. I got to take advantage of all the down time by reading.
What did I read?
You're probably thinking I read another classic. Those are my favorites, after all.
Let us ponder, shall we?
Charles Dickens? No. (Though I do still have plenty of his work on my to-read list)
Jane Austen? No. (Been there. Own the books. ;-) )
C.S. Lewis? No. (... well, I did start piddling through A Mind Awake last week.)
George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain ...? No. Excellent guesses, by the way. lol
Stephenie Meyer.
**GASP!**
No, I did not read Twilight. I mock twilight. Without ever having read it. Hypocritical, I know.
I read The Host, upon the recommendation of my weirdest friend, Keith. (Hi, Keith!)
This is the part where I'm supposed to get wordy and creative and write a mini book review for you.
...
I think this cold drained my creativity. Will you mind too much if I just tell you that it was super good? Because it was. It was about a Soul named Wanderer who finds herself a misfit among her fellow Souls. The human body she inhabits still houses the willful consciousness of it's former owner, Melanie. Through circumstances beyond their control, Wanderer and Melanie become allies, working together to save the people they love.
That sounds amazingly weird and corny. But it wasn't... really!
So. I never did listen to Big Fish. I turned on the first disc and decided I really wasn't interested.
I was going to watch BBC's miniseries version of Tess, but since I'd already listened to the audiobook, I wasn't that interested. It was very prettily done, though, and I may still watch it.
In other news, I'm making a new pair of fingerless gloves and they should be ready to show you by the time I get around to posting again. :)
Sorry for neglecting you all! I'm going to try to pick up to blogging around 3 times a week like I used to. It's a lot of fun.
Now I must go - my little brother is 7 today, and we're having some friends over soon!
(this is him a year and a half ago.)
Happy Birthday, Ben!!
