Gah! I can't discuss classics. One day though (my entire bottom shelf of the bookshelf is full of them, I just don't feel that far removed from high school yet - which is weird because they always made us read Canadian fiction rather than classics in high school, and I'm still scared of them.)
Anyways.....
I'm reading "Let the Church Say Amen" by ReShonda Tate Billingsley.

I managed to talk one teacher into letting me replace Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman with Margaret Lawrence's The Stone Angel. Vastly better novel.
I like Dickens in small quantities well spaced out.

Some of her stuff is ghastly!
BTW, happy Dominion Day.
(For the foreigners out there, that's the old fashioned name for Canada Day.)

I like Margaret Atwood and I've read everything Rohinton Mistry has ever written.
I'm almost finished with Life of Pi. Wierdness.

The Uncensored bible. It's about the, should I say it, more risque parts of ther bible. It's by two Dallas Theological Seminary graduates who now preach in Tennesee. After reading it, it's like god's grace is so amazing.

I need to go back and read A Fine Balance again. I read it while in university, when I didn't really have the time and effort to read a long novel. I didn't give it what I should have.
Life of Pi...hmmm....that was a strange one for me.

He could have opened with "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," and then launched into the story. But hey, if I'd lived in the 19th century without tv, radio, the internet and National Geographic, I might have needed it to go on and on to understand it.
