Rambling

I don't necessarily have anything new to blog about but I'm procrastinating my AP Euro homework so I thought I might as well do something a teeny bit productive. I have my cup of hot cocoa and I'm listening to Come Fly With Me by Frank Sinatra. It's actually pretty quiet in my house at 9:02 a.m. I'm thinking about different things and one that comes to mind is Stephen King. I've never read any of his works but he's my favorite author of the month. I'm not going to rant about it but if you'd like to know more, click here.
In my church we're starting a book club and the first book we're going to read is Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. My friend, Kyrie, and I have been asked to establish the book club and I think this is a good thing. This way, I can make sure we're all reading quality literature. :P But seriously.
Anyway I'm excited about it however I don't know of any other books we're going to read. I would have us read Rebecca but I don't know if it would be approved by our leaders. But I love that book. Maybe I'll blog about it someday. It's absolutely wonderful...if you like a dark, 1950's mystery novel. I'm thinking about some Dickens like Tale of Two Cities. Do you think some Edgar Alan Poe would be approved? Or maybe some Arthur Miller? All I can think of are the classics. I'm not very into modern authors but I'm thinking I'll have to look into that because the classics can get pretty arduous at times and they're not every one's cup of tea. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Kyrie and I are meeting this Saturday to make announcements for the first book club meeting. I'm excited. We're totally making 18th century invitations with time period verbiage and eloquent writing. It's totally cheesy but we figured since we're reading Jane Austen we might as well have the invitations sound like she wrote them. It's so lame but it's exactly something I would do and be thrilled about doing.

hahaha you're funny. that stephen king quote is probably one of your favorites now.
well, i'm glad you're helping with the book club. when we went to barnes and noble, we didn't really know what to choose. you are quite capable of that.
and i'm sure you'll have tons of fun with those invites...i'll be sure to praise them.

I had all these recommendations, but I realized they weren't 100% rated G. So lame.

My [church appropriate] recs:

-Wuthering Heights

Yeah, thats all I have

i refuse to read any Bronte.
they're ridiculous and Heathcliff freaks me out. Catherine is ridiculous and I just didn't like it. But I'll take any others... and Bishop Ostraff just has to approve them...sooo I don't know what that really means...

Amy: yes, it is one of my favorites :)
