Book Shelf

Every time we move we take down and refill our bookshelf (some how new books keep popping up).  I have to admit in the past this practice has brought guilt... I haven't read hardly any of the Scholar Phase books.  However, this time it was more like read it, read it, read it, need to read it and so on and so forth.  I had a great Scholar Phase summer.  Lots of reading and writing and pondering on some really great books. 

My Antonia is a great book, an absolute favorite of mine and I loved writing about it and hope to be able to share my thoughts on this book soon.  I have to type it.

Amazing book!  Lost Island gives you that same kind of feeling that the Disney Nature Movies do, "What have we done?" Is it to late?

This is the third Steinbeck book I have read, very interesting writer.  Last year I went to a leadership class and the leader talked about writing style, I decided that was something I wanted to learn more about.  I want to read all of Steinbeck's popular titles and write a paper on his writing style. 

Right now I am reading; The Awakening and trying my hardest to finish Anna Karenina before the movie comes out.  Also, I joined a book club here and our first book discussion in on, Uncle Tom's Cabin.  I have read the book but funny thing, I have been hesitant to write a paper because of the direction my brain is going, "Is it ok to kill in situations such as Uncle Toms?"  Heaven knows he had ample opportunity and reason to do so.  I will share if I ever get around to straightening out my crooked mind.
