I have written in another blog entry that I have found my love of reading. Lately, I've been reading some church books, inspirational and otherwise. I read a series that was about the love story between Joseph and Emma Smith and I loved it. I've also been reading the Twilight Series over and over again. I love those books. I love the story so much.
Anyway, I have decided that I am going to be ambitious. I have read a few of the American classic novels in the past. I absolutely loved To Kill a Mockingbird and The Great Gatsby. Now, I am wanting to read European Classics. I really have an interest in reading Jane Austen. I have Pride and Prejudice and have attempted to read it. It's a very involved book and it took a lot of my energy to try and understand it. To quote You've Got Mail, I "get lost in words like 'thither.'" I really want to read it though because I love the movie and I think I was one of the very few who loved Becoming Jane.
I also just purchased Wuthering Heights at Barnes and Noble on Friday. Like I said, ambitious. I'm really hoping that my enthusiasm will get me through. I'm sure some people think that I'm stupid because they've read these books already and had no problem. Well, please, take this blog entry as a compliment. I'm striving to be a reader of classic novels, like you.

Book Worm! We need to start a book club! I really liked reading Twilight and telling you everything I felt about every part of the book. It's fun when you get together and talk about books, it makes you feel like your part of that book. No hard books, okay!
