As I said in my last blog I want to read a lot over this spring and summer season (I'm not just going to read classics, I want to read more modern stuff too I've realized) so, so far I've finished one book on my list of things to read, Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass. Yes, I think I might be one of the very few people in the world who read it and didn't become madly in love with it. It didn't thrill me. In fact I found it to be very boring at times. So go ahead yell if you want.
Sigh, but now I do not know what is next. Oscar Wilde? A play or a novel? - well Wilde only ever wrote one novel. Or maybe some Jane Austen? Or maybe something weird along the lines of Palaniuk? - no, I read Survivor and it sucked. I'm giving up on Chuck for now. Diary, Lullaby, and now Survivor? I've read 6 of his books, liked 3 out of the 6 so half and half. I've been reading Haunted off and on and I'm loving it so I'm not completely done with him. He is my favorite author after all.
A trip to the library might do the trick.

I wish I read more. So many of my friends are in book clubs, they have been for years or at least they share books with a few friends and always have something to talk about.
I usually read more in the summer when the day are longer and I can laze in the pool with a good book.
I haven't read that many classics. I should, I feel like if I did I could be profound or at least sound profound. Not to mention have a better vocabulary.
You should read the Red Tent by Anita Diamant, I think you might like it. Its a novel, historical fiction, based on a story in the Bible about Dinah. You connect and become invested in the characters. I know I did and all my friends who read it.
