So I'm on this big Jane Austen kick. No I have never read any of her books but I love her movies. I haven't read the books because really she freaks me out. I just know that she is far more intelligent than I shall ever be in my lifetime and I won't understand a word she says. But I'm going to try. I've been beading to Lost in Austen, which is a BBC mini series that is amazing, watch it. And I also watched the great Colin Firth play Darcy in that six hour movie. You tube and Hulu are amazing. :)
Today I went to town with my sister to fool around. She lives six hours away from me now, it's hard without her here. But I got an awesome book haul!! Let me just tell you what I got at Goodwill and the used bookstores:
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larsson
Bridget Jones's Diary - Helen Fielding
Insomnia - Steven King
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Next - Stieg Larsson
Zeke and Ned - Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana
The Christian Atheist - Craig Groeschel
Interesting thing is that Craig Groeschel is my former pastor from OK!!! I found his book all the way in ID in a goodwill store! I was super excited!! I can't wait to start reading some of these books! (a side note. I have more books than some people will see in their lifetimes and yet I can't stop) Unfortunatley I'm still reading Lord of the Rings because I am. I'm really not sure if I like it all that much. It keeps me entertained while I'm reading but I'm not dying to read it. Does that make sense??
Hasta.
