It’s been a while, but I finally got back into the habit of reading good books in my leisure time. Bless those public libraries. Kristie isn’t getting jealous cause she finally picked up the last Harry Potter book and has been pretty wrapped up herself. Over the last couple weeks I read John Steinbeck’s classic East of Eden and loved it. This week I’ve jumped into Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 100 Years of Solitude. Marquez’s book was originally written in Spanish, which makes me feel like I’m missing out a little, but it’s been great so far.
But don’t take my word for it. (queue Reading Rainbow theme song)
Anyone else reading something good?
hey kristie and tom! i was just blog surfing and found yours from ang’s… and then i saw you already had ours linked on yours!! i was super excited. so naturally, i read your whole page and got super excited when i saw that you are making the trip to st. george to run the marathon! awesome! you better stop by and say hello when you are down here! i’ll kick your butt if you don’t! :) jk, but i really would love to see you! hope all is well with you two love birds!
oh, btw, i am also finally able to read good books now that i am on school break. i happen to get sucked back into the Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse series… again. totally predictable i know. but maybe i can follow tom’s example and get some good classics going. just maybe. hope to see you two for the marathon! take care!
I haven’t read East of Eden, but Jared has and it is one of his favorites. Basically, I read anything that has to do with child development right now because JJ is growing and developing faster than I ever imagined he could! I’m just trying to keep up.
PS…HAPPY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY!!!
Yay! You finally read East of Eden… it’s a good one.
I actually just finished Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein a month or so ago. I was quite surprized at how good it was. The book itself is quite different from the portrayal of Frankenstein in movies and on Halloween. Great read…I was impressed.
