Weekly Book Fix
Thanks to Stephanie over at The Written Word I've been perusing quite a few reading/book lovers blogs and have been itching to go make some purchases based on those bloggers recommendations and reading lists. So this morning my lovely husband drove me over to Borders and kept the boy occupied while I binged on books. I'm going with a "classics" theme (both old school and modern) for the rest of the summer. Here's what I purchased today...
War and Peace
Crime and Punishment
Northanger Abbey
Lord of the Flies (started this one on the beach today and I'm already very afraid for poor Piggy)
The Princess Bride
Love in the Time of Cholera
Looking at the list I can't believe that I haven't read some of these already. The good thing about buying some of these classics like Austen, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky is that their cheap! This stack should keep me busy for a while.

I remember reading Lord of the Flies when I was in HS. Can't wait to hear what you thought of all the rest!
After Lord of the Flies, read Princess Bride - you'll need it!
Speaking of classics, I also loved To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Trying to sell Chris on our first son being named "Atticus" might be difficult though!
