Influential Books

A while ago, probably a couple of months, I commented on one of Liturgy Geek's posts about her favorite books.  Because she asked (and I like and respect her) here is a list of 10 of the books that have influenced me greatly in no particular order.  I can't explain succintly why I love each of these so I guess I will embark upon a series of posts taking on each of them one by one.  That should keep be busy for a while. 

• The Stranger - Albert Camus
• Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
• Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
• Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
• A Tree Grows In Brooklyn - Betty Smith
• The Portable Dorothy Parker
• The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams
• Endgame - Samuel Beckett
• Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston
• Song of Solomon - Toni Morrison
• House of the Spirits - Isabel Allende

In  other news: I would swear that I had spellcheck yesterday.

i am not a blogger

Well, this is awkward. I have sworn over and over that I would never write a blog but I have run out of room in my head and there is no one around to listen to my many fascinating thoughts. I blame this on Referendum 71...but more on that later because I don't have enough time left in my lunch break today. I am not delusional, I don't think anyone is or should be interested in anything I have to say. Although I am quite brilliant. I'm kidding. So here it is, a new beginning. A new outlet, really. And if anyone should stumble upon these ravings of a tired, stressed out mom who sometimes gets a little too carried away I say welcome to you.

So...we'll see how this goes. This may not be for me but I'm up for an experiment.
