Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about your books.

I am really liking it, but it's not a book you can read and follow unless you give it 100% of your concentration.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-55106030367858625452009-03-31T18:26:00.000-04:002009-03-31T18:26:00.000-04:00I'm just finishing Gone with the Wind and am still...I'm just finishing Gone with the Wind and am still thinking about Woolf.

I'm nearly halfway through it and am having mixed feelings. Still, I feel compelled to finish. It's been a weird reading experience for me! And I often have a pile of books on the bed, but it annoys my husband (since books are already everywhere else--lol). I just have to be careful not to leave piles there while he's around! :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-23913419146065742752009-03-28T13:39:00.000-04:002009-03-28T13:39:00.000-04:00Gentle Reader, I love Margaret Atwood, but this is...Gentle Reader, I love Margaret Atwood, but this is one I haven't read, yet. Wouldn't it be great if you could have an extra day in the week all for yourself? That way, I would be able to blog and read and knit without feeling guilty about everything I should be doing. :)<BR/><BR/>Becca, my husband reads sporadically -- mostly nonfiction. He doesn't understand why it is sometimes a dilemma for me to pick out my next read. I am really enjoying Mrs. Dalloway. I can't wait to get into the actual text of the book.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-48750313068857393172009-03-28T12:12:00.000-04:002009-03-28T12:12:00.000-04:00My husband laughs at my book piles too - he's a re...My husband laughs at my book piles too - he's a reader, but strictly one at a time for him ;)<BR/><BR/>The Mrs. Dalloway's Reader sounds interesting. As does your literature course.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get something out of it with the lectures.

I really liked A Lesson Before Dying when I read it several years ago, but have never really 'understood' poetry.<BR/><BR/>I'm also a fan of The Teaching Company, but Gilgamesh sounds 'dangerous' even with that extra help -lol! Look forward to hearing about your next read. Have a great weekend!<BR/><BR/>PS - Wanted to let you know that I loved Therese Raquin! It may be another week before I get a review up though.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-25352011053085623422009-03-26T14:40:00.000-04:002009-03-26T14:40:00.000-04:00Lezlie, I agree -- the lectures do help in underst...Lezlie, I agree -- the lectures do help in understanding.
