Posted in a long, long while..... I just haven't really felt like a lot of news worthy things have happened lately. I know I'm pretty boring, huh?? lol I have read a ton of books lately since I haven't felt very good. I am currently reading "The Count of Monte Cristo" and it's so far with all my 11 pages in, is already quite different from the movie I saw. Which was the 2002 version with Jim Caviezel, which I LOVED!!! But I haven't seen any of the other versions so I can't say how the book compares to them. I just recently finished "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights". I loved "Jane Eyre" and I really liked "Wuthering Heights" but it's not my favorite. So far out of all the classics I've read, my favorite is still "Pride and Prejudice". I have been trying for almost a year to finish reading Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" but I hate admitting that it is very, VERY slow going because I am so bored. I just can't get into this book. I am 80 pages in and still don't rememeber them even mentioning Frankenstein at all... Maybe I should just start over and try to read it faster. Who knows. But I have a few other classics as well as some modern books still on my list for this year and it's only the beginning. I'm glad that there are a ton of books in the world, or I might get bored. lol
I am very happy that Kelly is very into reading, and Cameron shows signs of a good reader. Though, I'll have to wait till he can actually read before I can know for sure. :)
And I am surprised that I enjoy some romances. I used to reuse to read any but I have found some that I really like. They aren't those cheesy Harlequin romances or anything, but I do like some. My dear sweet cousin Leone suggested I read the "Sookie Stackhouse" series and I started to, I've only read the first 2 but I think I like another series that the author writes about a girl who can sense where dead people are buried. I know I'm weird, but I just like it better, She also suggested I read "Uglies" but I haven't read that one yet. It's one of the next ones on my list. Along with my sisters suggestion of the Janet Evanovich "Stephanie Plum" series. I've read the first 4 of those. I don't think that I like them as much as she does. I made her read the "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" series and she loved them, so she decided that since she read books that I made her read, I should read books that she wants me to read. She'll be upset when I tell her that they are ok, but not my favorites. I made her read the "Harry Pottor" books cause she claimed that she hated the books and the movies just cause everyone else made a bog deal about them, even though she'd never seen any of the movies or read any of the books. I don't have a problem with someone not liking a series or movies, but you should at least try to read one or see the movie before you make up your mind.
Well It's not much of a blog but at least I wrote one. I had a bunch more but I deleted it cause it sounded a bit grumpy. I wonder why, I'm not in a bad mood or anything.
