P&P weekend

This weekend accidentally turned into a Pride & Prejudice marathon weekend. Megan and Torie and I watched the Keira Knightley version Saturday night then we watched the BBC version Sunday (while I lay dying of fluff lung on Megan's couch - it's nice to have friends who are willing to take care of you). Just to cap it all off, I give you this:

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies



I also have a post planned for I Capture the Castle (which I loved) but I must get over the aforementioned fluff lung.

The Poisonwood Bible

Dear friends,
I am reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver and it is so good that I wanted to tell you about it. I'm almost finished with it after working on it for several days, and let me tell you that I was very frustrated every time I had to put it down. It is a fantastic book and if you haven't read it, you should.

Also, in reference to the previous post about Anne Tyler: she is fantastic, and if you haven't read her, you should. I still haven't read Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant because it was always checked out when I looked, but in addition to The Accidental Tourist I read Breathing Lessons and Celestial Navigation, and all three were excellent (the way I've listed them is actually the order in which I liked them). Check them out.
