My 10 Book Picks
Hey, how's everyone doing out there? Hot enough for ya? I swear, the older I get, the more the heat bothers me! I'm sitting here, with an extra hour for myself, so I figured this is a good time to do my long awaited meme, that I think I got from Dawn. The 10 book picks? I think it's ten books everyone should read? Well, I don't know if everyone should read my picks-but most will like the ones I've chose. In no special order: #1. Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen
#2. Uncle Toms Cabin-Harriet Beecher Stowe
#3. {not for nothing-but why O why is it SO HARD to change TEXT & COLOR in AOL journals??? WTH? It's like, IMPOSSIBLE, cause it automaticly jumps back to the LAST text & color I used before! See what I mean? it will NOT go back to purple! sorry} My # 3. WUTHERING HEIGHTS- Emily Bronte
{Or back to BOLD! wth??} #4. IN COLD BLOOD-Trumen Capote
#4. CATCHER IN THE RYE- J. D. Salinger { now it's switching all by itself! I HATE AOL!}
#5. On The Road- Jack Kerouac
# 6. MEIN KEMPF-Hitler {this is definitely NOT for everybody!}
# 7. INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE- Anne Rice
# 8. THE SHIPPING NEWS- Anne Proulx
# 9. THE DE VINCI CODE- Dan Brown
# 10. JANE EYRE- Emily Bronte
So, there you have it-my ten book picks. You know, there were so many going through my head, I doubt I could write down each and every book I've read over the years, and how to choose Tennessee Williams over the Bronte sisters, or vice versa, lol, like I did, ykwim? I wrote what came to mind, as I wrote this, because if I sat and thought about them all, I wouldn't have been able to choose! And forget about trying to make the page look good, and change colors and all, cause it's aggravating with these journals! I mean, the letters had a mind of their own! Sometimes I was able to change size and sometimes not! Why?? It should be an easy thing to do! Maybe there's a trick I'm not aware of? Who knows, anyway, PEACE-tell next time!

Very familiar choices! I remember when I first read e.e.cummings and Kerouac, I swore I'd climb a mountain in California before turning 20. Didn't happen, but between "On The Road" and "The Dharma Bums" I learned much. Ever read Ayn Rand or Anais Nin? I'm betting yes lol! CATHY

Sometimes AOL just goes wonky with the fonts! Argh! Me too!
Anyhow... I love your choices! My dad read Mein Kempf and said the same... I have read just about everything on your list! I haven't read Kerouac... yet!
be well,
Dawn
