Coffee Musings - 022308

There should be a dark hole where all unfinished books go to be redirected to someone who has the time to read them. Here are three that I probably won't finish soon, but that I've been reading recently.

That's the thing . . . if I read then I'm not knitting. If I knit then I'm not reading. I may be able to bake while reading and knitting, but I still have to watch that I don't burn the cookies. I haven't posted much about knitting, but I should since I need to. I have a blanket to do for my twin's husband's sister, and then I found out that a co-worker is due in May. Yikes! I better get a move on. Luckily I discovered the brilliance of the technologically contemporary library. I order books, and I return them. So easy. It's technologically brilliant because I don't have to go to the library to view the catalog. This makes life EASY! I only go there when a book is on hold. I've had good success with obtaining books. This is very good for my pocketbook which has holes because of impulse book buying in years past.
Thank Gawd for Jane Austen! If not for her I would not have run down the literature route of reading. I was hooked at 13 and I carried around a volume of her completed works for about 22 years. It was in too many pieces so I had to dispose of it. Now, I must admit, I view movies based on her books much much much more than I reread her books. My favorite book before the movies came out was Mansfield Park, but now that I've seen so many Jane movies, I want to reread Persuasion again.
