Novel Ideas

The leaves are falling now and I am constantly tempted to run around and try to snatch them right out of the air. I'm sad to see them fall, abandoning their trees and exposing bare branches to the infringing winter. The nights are growing longer and soon winter will frosting my windows and encouraging me to cozy up to a good book with a cup of tea.

Here are some never-fail favorite reads (children's books included):
Pride and Prejudice
The Scarlet Letter
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Ella Enchanted
The Walking Drum
The Alchemist
Ginger Jumps
Max and Ruby
Knots on a Counting Rope

And some that I am looking forward to discovering:
Atonement
Three Cups of Tea
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
Life of Pi-I started, but must finish
The Secret Life of Bees
Lolita
The Blind Assassin
?L.A. candy?- if I ever get to feeling the need for a gossip novel, it’ll be this
A Wrinkle in Time
The Sound and the Fury
The Inexhaustible Gospel

Hopefully I'll have enough time to ditch the textbooks and delve into these enticing novels. Here's to cozy winter nights and minute amounts of dry, textual discourses!
