Books for April

Oops, I forgot to do these earlier. I also forgot to write down my books this month, and I also lost the page of extensive, insightful, and useful notes about Remains of the Day, which was the first book I finished this month. So now: It was brilliant. You should read it. The end.

I started Possession (by A.S. Byatt) but I couldn't get into it like I did before. It's still a really good book; I just wasn't in the mood for it, I think.

I also read Pride and Prejudice. It was, of course, excessively brilliant. And witty, and clever, and romantic, and ... well, brilliant. The end.

And then I read Northanger Abbey, which struck me as much more brilliant than it did the last time I read it. Scathingly witty in parts, really. Even though Catherine is more than a bit of a clueless ditz, bless her heart.

And I think that was all. But I wouldn't know for sure, because I didn't write them down. Because I'm all on top of things that way.

I have Remains of the Day on my Amazon wishlist...It is like, .50. I don't know why I haven't purchased it yet. I'm a dolt. I think I'll do that now :)
