Okay, I apologize! What was I thinking? A few illustraations would help? They did but it is still quite boring. I consider my classics experiment at an end. Too many other ENJOYABLE books out there.

I've just been preached at so much in my life by people who were religious fakes that when I start seeing or hearing a l...
It's Book Circle day, and also the 24th day of the Doubleday UK meme which invites one to consider which book is most reminiscent of that dread and drear individual, The English Teacher. http://tinyurl.com/la754n4 It's poetry. The ***ONLY*** reason I read poetry is that it's somehow assigned rea...
