I hated that book. I'll have to give The Alchemist a try. What I love about Jane Austen is she is considered classic, but the stories are just as relevent today and her writing is easy to understand. Your family is cute as well. I'm adding you to my links, hope you don't mind.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998409054437533502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26441505.post-13516079216178472422008-03-24T00:26:00.000-06:002008-03-24T00:26:00.000-06:00Coming out of lurkdom here.

I was turned off of classics after high school (Must have been Perkes' fault right?) Anyway, wondering how you are liking The Alchemist. I've picked it up at the book store a couple of times but couldn't decide. Let me know, will ya?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998409054437533502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26441505.post-50054267307212822432008-03-18T21:00:00.000-06:002008-03-18T21:00:00.000-06:00I've been enjoying reading more lately too!

So one of my favs is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. And I've got to agree with Christine- the Alchemist was a great one too.J D C and Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13793864310814369937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26441505.post-7808506468713690272008-03-14T10:23:00.000-06:002008-03-14T10:23:00.000-06:00So I have been thinking forever that I should read...So I have been thinking forever that I should read this book but I have been scared!!

Anyway, I'm glad things are going well for you and your family. Have you seen Becoming Jane? It's a movie about what inspired Jane Austen to write. It was pretty good...Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17071516238267185915noreply@blogger.com
