I will hopefully be posting more tonight, but I wanted to say I'm updating my elements here. I'm home, as I'm extremely congested. So, I'm getting things organized. The book list is going to grow and grow and grow. This is just where I am now. I've already finished my Jane Austen list. One goal I had set for this year was to reread classics I've already read, and read new ones. I have the children working on their own list of classics too. John (DH), Katelyn (DSD) and Michael (DS) and I are voracious readers. I'm buying the Barnes and Nobles versions of the classics. The footnotes and commentaries really help them understand the books. I highly recommend these versions to anyone wanting to expand their reading list. There's one writer that my father introduced me to that I think should be on the list though. Guy de Maupassant is one of the fathers of the short story. The themes of his works can be seen in today's movies and literature and life. I'll be adding that to my list once I get a copy of his short stories with The Necklace in it.
Talk more at ya later.
