My friend gave me a book to read and said it's the best ever and that I would love it. Now usually, I think this means a Fantasy novel about dragons, female heroines, and a minor romance. However, this is "A People's History of the United States" by Mr. Howard Zinn, BU Professor, (where I went to school) and famous lefty historian. I should love this book.
Yet oddly, I can only read about 10 minutes before falling asleep. Generally, I'm a fast reader and really enjoy reading. I see pictures of things that are happening. Occasionally I can get into that grove with the book, but not always which makes it hard to enjoy. But maybe it's because I'm at the time of the colonies. I've always been more into post WWII history. We shall see!
Have also started reading "Wuthering Heights," I figured, I loved "Jane Eyre," so maybe I would love this too... I haven't read most of the old classics so I'm excited to be on this new kick. Anyway, "Wuthering Heights" started out a little bit hard to follow because I couldn't keep all the family names straight, but fortunately my edition has a family tree in the beginning!
At this very moment George Michael is sitting in my lap, purring like crazy and rubbing his head against my chin. He's so cute!
