The movie was pretty bad, too. :-)Jennie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14027736832723636538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012400192360016988.post-83207235926607528002008-08-03T10:25:00.000-07:002008-08-03T10:25:00.000-07:00I highly recommend, if you like non-gory mysteries...I highly recommend, if you like non-gory mysteries, all the Sherlock Holmes stories as well as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple novels (especially "Murder at the Vicarage" and "Sleeping Murder"). And Wilkie Collins's "The Moonstone" and "The Woman in White". Pre-babies, my husband & I used to read aloud to each other a lot... these are good light-ish (but not completely brain-dead) reads. <BR/><BR/>I also totally recommend Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens". Both authors have written many, many other books--this one, which the co-wrote, is my favorite. <BR/><BR/>I'll also put in a plug for good old Victorian chick-lit (I just finished "Sense & Sensibility" and "Pride & Prejudice" as well as "Wuthering Heights" and "Silas Marner").<BR/><BR/>More contemporary books I've enjoyed recently: "Water for Elephants", "The Thirteenth Tale" (warning: some PG-13 material in this one). I'll also direct you to a college friend's blog (http://nicolebradshaw.blogspot.com/). She's not Catholic, but she does read copiously and write good non-spoiler reviews--just browse through to see what she's read lately that sounds interesting. <BR/><BR/>I don't know how to knit, but a friend has proposed a knitting "class" with another friend of hers as "teacher" sometime this fall... I've tried to teach myself to crochet a couple of times, but think I'd do much better with a human being available to explain my mistakes!<BR/><BR/>JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012400192360016988.post-68922249436156405402008-08-02T22:02:00.000-07:002008-08-02T22:02:00.000-07:00I can't wait to see what you've got knit! All the ...I can't wait to see what you've got knit! All the reading I've done...has been listening, lol. My husband has subjected me to audio books during all our trips back and forth to my doctors appointments. We just finished The history of the world...I forget the author. So I'm all refreshed on world history. Yeah...<BR/>Lets hope you have no more pinkish stuff. But I would be more concerned with red, then pink...and brown is indication of past/ old, rather than new bleeding, right?Angoraknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352728587683485241noreply@blogger.com
