I haven't been able to go to the library and get the book. I'm trying to get a job right now, and I'm really working on guitar. I plan on getting voice lessons and maybe putting out a cd if I can afford it. So I haven't really had time to look for it.

Besides songs, I'm not really reading anything. I will probably start reading Wuthering Heights in the next couple days.

How is everyone else doing??

I agree the Bennett (this is the right spelling, I looked it up) family seems to be a bit disfunctional. If I had a mother like Mrs. Bennett I don't think I could have handled it. She stuck her nose in everyone elses business, didn't think about what she said or did and how it would affect her daughters. I felt that Elizabeth and her oldest sister were the most normal.

I am not sure that I would have liked living during that time period, I have to admit the balls and socializing would have been a blast, however, as a woman you couldn't really do as you choosed only as your husband or family chose. How would you feel about this? Would you want to stay at home and just have to entertain? What if you were part of a lower class and had to actually work?

The narrator for the book I listened to is Nadia May.

Are Chelsey and I the only ones reading this???

At the moment I have moved on to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone . I have never listened to it on audion before, but I am enjoying it a great deal. The narrator is OK, but of course the story is still good.

Happy Reading!!

Chels, I think you got the abridged edition because the one I listened to was about 11 CDs and 12 hours or so. I enjoyed my narrators voice and change in characters' voices as well. You know a narrator when listening to an audio book can make or break the book.

Happy reading!!

Yahoo!!! I finished Pride and Prejudice yesterday! Susanna you were right it was a very good book. I am glad I listened to it on audio, I don't think I would have ever finished it in time had I not. How would you describe the Bennet (excuse my spelling, if it is wrong, remember I listened to it) family? Normal? Disfunctional? Would you have wanted to live during that time? Why or why not? I leave you guys with those questions for now, so if you haven't read it I won't spoil it for you :)

Have a great day!!

I found Pride and Prejudice on audio, I will get to read it before the end of the month!! Has anyone started it? Does anyone have anything to say/discuss? I'll be finishing up The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which is a very interesting story of a 15 year-old boy who is mildly autistic and pretty well functions as a "normal" kid, but has some very unusual habits and mannerisms. The book centers around him discovering his neighbor's dog dead on her front lawn and wanting to find out who did it. Along the way he is discovering a few other things. I would highly recommend it. It is a short and quick read! Happy Reading!!!

No prob, Bee. Did anyone go to the Hollywood Theatre thing? I saw a lot of Holmen people there.

I just finished The Old Man and The Sea tonight. I loved it. The entire struggle he went through and the ending is just.... Well, I don't want to ruin it for any of you. But definitely read it. It's by Ernest Hemingway, if you guys didn't know.

Hey Chelsey, I heard there was Princess Diaries 2 coming out. Actually, I just saw it on Disney, started freaking out and thought of you. but email me or post on here. I'm gonna go watch Zenon. Peace out.

Sorry Laura! I didn't realize you were living in La Crosse this summer... Do you have internet access at home, you can check to see if the South Branch has the books you are looking for by going to the site http://lplcat.lacrosse.lib.wi.us/

This site also allows you to put holds on materials that are at the north branch and the main branch as well as a few others and they will be shipped to your local library, all you need is a library card!! Happy reading...

I will be unable to get together on Thursday, but I would highly reccommend it, have fun.

How is La Crosse, you mean for me?

the days are long, hot and humid, and my friends aren't talking to me. my only friends
are about an inch thick and have a billion words in them. summer is GREAT!!!

Reality Check!! I started my summer school class yesterday...East Asian Civ. at Winona State. Oh my goodness I bought 6 books, the class is only 5 weeks long!! This bums me out I am going to have to find Pride and Prejudice on CD or I am never going to be able to read it before the end of June!!

I missed you guys while I was out of the country. How is Chippewa Falls, Chelsey? How is Sweden, Susanna? How is Holmen, for the rest of you?

Stop by if you want, I am at HHS in the morning and Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Blank are here all day for the next couple of weeks.

Welcome Dani!! We are all excited to hear a fresh voice!

I hope you had a great week!! Has anyone started reading Pride and Prejudice? I haven't, but I did just finish Glorious Appearing by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. For those of you who have read the rest of the Left Behind series you are in for a treat, it is very interesting, even though sometimes it goes into too much detail.

The next book I am going to read is The Curious Incident of the Dog and the Night Time (at least I think that is the title). I let you guys know what it is about and if it is good or not :)
