The Day 8 topic is A Book You Love and One You Didn’t. I’ll try to keep it brief.

I have a few all time favorites. The book I will drop everything for is Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. I will also drop everything if the movie or miniseries happens to be on. We need groceries? Oh, sorry. P&P is on. See you in 6 or 7 hours. My childhood favorites are Rikki Tikki Tavi and A Wrinkle In Time. I wore out my copies of those books. Disney is making a movie out of A Wrinkle In Time. Can’t wait to check that out.

A book I didn’t like. Of course these are high school and college assigned reading. The Great Gatsby. Gah, so boring. Julius Caesar. I loved Shakespeare but not that one.The Lord of the Flies was sad and depressing. Anna Karenina. Anything by Dickens.

And now I think I’ll go download copies of A Wrinkle In Time and Rikki Tikki Tavi.
