Happy October! Like Bridget, this marks the beginning of my favorite stretch of months. Hello, Fall and Winter.
We've had a couple of windy days here, and we are far away from where Ian was. As much as I'd love to have a house on a beach, that type of weather, and its increasing frequency, keep me from making a real move toward that end.
I did find some of those "Books Everyone Should Read" and "Movies Everyone Should See" lists, and I didn't fare too well on either. Of course, my final total depended entirely on what list I was looking at. Still, I've seen more of the movies than I've read the books, which truly surprised me. Also, a significant number of the books that I have read I read as assignments in Middle or High School. I've also read the three Lord of Rings books, only because I took a class on them in college.
Twinnie asked if I read Crime and Punishment for fun. I doubt it, and yet I don't remember exactly why I did. Probably because I saw it on a "Best" list and thought I'd give it a shot.
Also, I haven't read a single Jane Austen or Bronte book. Well, I know for sure about the former and am almost positive about the second. If anything, I've read Wuthering Heights, but cannot say for absolutely sure.
Watching lots of football. Doing a little knitting. Working on a purple rollneck sweater and a little shawlette. Mostly, though, in perfect honesty, I'm playing Word Wars on my phone.

I think you should try a little Austen and a little Bronte (and I must admit I have never, ever made it all through Wuthering Heights, although I do know all the words to the Kate Bush song so there's that).
