According to the 'Modern Library' anyway... I started last year to try to read, in my lifetime, this list of 100 classic novels. I have heard so many people rant and rave about some of these books, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I find that so many people don't have an opinion for...

NE Quiz yesterday. Yes, I'm moving on to JC. Grabbed lunch at Taka. And today, I'm bored. Finished "Flowers for Algernon", downloading Poseidon, and a book meme from Tricia: [which I've decided to change a little seeing as how I've stopped reading or can't remember what I've read =D] 1) bold those...

I signed up for vox so I can post on two of my friends' blogs. Calimama posted this about the Big Read on her blog so I decided I would post my own list on my blog just in case someone ever looked at my blog. This way, people can learn a little more about me from the things I have read. I am...

I recently picked up a used copy of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. As the title would suggest, it features essays on 1,001 books that the editors have chosen as important or essential reading. The book is fundamentally flawed as it features eleven selections by J.M. Coetzee and only two by...

Decided to do my own customized version of the reading list meme. The underlined are highly recommended and I have asterixed the childrens books. Probably add more as I think of them, but this will do for now. 1. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2. Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien* 3. Jane Eyre -...
Saturday was a good reading day. I killed some grown-up books (Tamar and Nature Girl) and some kidlit (The Wish List and Clash of the Sky Galleons), worked down my New Yorker backlog, and generally enjoyed life. I also served as a Cloth Diaper Expert at Tiny Tots, wherein I diapered a stuffed tiger...

In the last few years, I have been bitterly disappointed by Hollywood puking up crappy sequels, remakes of kitschy TV shows and satires of movies that were laughably bogus in their original form. I don’t want to see Will Ferrell’s face anymore and I almost choke every time I see a magazine with...
