Behind the scenes of a classic

Usually your weekly reading assignment is to read something, but in very rare cases, I will allow you to watch the movie, in this case there isn't a book, but with the 5 hour 'Pride and Prejudice' with Collin Firth or 'Much Ado About Nothing,' they are faithful enough to the book/play that you can swap one for the other.  I have not yet seen it, but 'To Walk Invisible' looks like a great movie based on the lives of the Bronte sisters.  If you are a 'Jane Eyre' fan, I think it will be a very interesting peek into the life of the author.  Find the article here.  

Assignment

Your reading assignment this week is Jane Eyre (once considered something of a radical feminist novel).  Remember, this is 23.7% of your grade!

All the news from Bree?

There might be news from Bree, but certainly not from Astoria, so go read something Tolkienish.

New Website!

I finally have an 'official website' for my books.  Check it out here!

Bad advice and worse advice?

Want to be healthy, wealthy, and wise?  I think that has something to do with getting up early so has nothing whatsoever to do with this post.  How about something totally enthralling and countercultural?  Turn off your device (unless it be an e-reader) and open a book, the older the better. Another good reason not to get up early: you can stay up late to finish 'just one more page...'

Old sayings and new reading assignment

No news is good news, right?  If you are really desperate for something to do, go read 'Little Women.'

Startling news, or not

I know you've been waiting years for this, not really, but it is fun to say: I've updated a few covers, same content, but slightly better to look at.
