Finished reading Great Expectations
I finally finished reading one of Charles Dickens’ masterpieces, Great Expectations. I loved Volume 1 (Pip’s childhood) — Dickens’ humor is prevalent, and Pip is a lovable character. I have to admit, I got bogged down in Volume 2. The … Continue reading

Some time ago I was waiting in line at the DMV, wishing that I had remembered to bring a book with me, when I realized that I always carried my PDA–why not just look for some free e-texts and slurp … Continue reading

Another book to be read
Dang, here I am almost caught up on my reading and Acetylene goes and blogs something I must read–Sinclair Lewis’s It Can’t Happen Here. Curse you, Acetylene! 😉 Next time the blog-bug bites, fill out a survey or something. 😀
Seven things…
An interesting survey… Continue reading
