Classic lit is a way of life for my husband and me.  You know you're a little obsessive when you have at least one conversation a day that starts with "You won't believe what happened to Scout today!" or some such thing.  If you are a nerd you know that I was referring to Scout Finch, a fictional young lady from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.  If you are not a nerd then you might have come to the wrong place...

Have a little fun walking around my world - where reality slips away and you find yourself greeting old friends like Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Dickens - or making new acquaintances with those you've heard of, but never sat down with before.

Enjoy...

What are Funsocksgirl & her Hubby Reading? 

We're always reading something...I personally have a rule: one book at a time. This is because if I start more than one I forget what characters go to what book and then I pick the one I like better and read it all...and three books later one from the first pair is still sitting around waiting to be finished.

Little Dorrit (Penguin Classics)

I'm running out of Dickens that I haven't read - at the moment I'm checking "Little Dorrit" off my list. Only 134 pages in and already loving it :-D

My hubby started this, his first Faulkner, yesterday at 11a.m. and did nothing but read until 11p.m. Methinks Faulkner is a hit :)
