Chocolat! Pour vous!
So, I finished Northanger Abbey today during my break at work. I enjoyed it immensely, more than Persuasion but not as much as Mansfield Park and Pride and Prejudice. Next up in the Jane Austen line are Emma and Sense and Sensibility, although I probably won't be reading those two until the summer, since I have other designs for this winter break. I started reading Marley and Me today, and since this winter season seems to be dog oriented I bought a book called Merle's Door: Lessons From a Free Thinking Dog. After that I just might not have time for any other books before next semester starts up, we shall see.
So far my favorite quote from Marley and Me is: "I lay down on the very edge of the mattress, my arm dangling into the box. There, my hand resting on his side, feeling his rib cage rise and fall with his every breath, we both drifted off to sleep." -P. 22
Of course I haven't gotten too far into the book yet, so I'm sure I'll find more quotes.
Oh, and Dave and I did end up seeing the Spirit, we liked it despite the bad reviews it recieved.
The real John Grogen and Marley :)
Owen Wilson and yellow puppy
Dave and I especially liked that the Spirit had kitties. (I also liked that he was scantily clad in this scene :) )
*Notice that when words fail me I rely on pictures, heh heh*
