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...

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

I think chicks dig book nerds. One of life's little mysteries. I'm crazy about Dickens now, having read Tale of Two and Bleak House back to back. Reading David Copperfield at the moment, and loving it! Seems like listening in on an angel talking about humans, so compassionate! Glad I found you. Posted October 12, 2007 |

I'm a big reader too, and majoring in English Literature in college. Very nice lens, I gave it 5*. Hope you'll visit my Foreign Films Frenzy lens too! Posted August 27, 2007 |

Old books are great, they give off a pheromone, as it were, that just drives me into this fit of spending money :) Posted October 27, 2006 |

Ooooh don't even get me started on the smells - it's an integral part of choosing any book. New books with that crip clean scent...used books with their musty smell just begging you to read them... Posted September 12, 2006 |

Nice lens! Books -- how can you not love them? And books smells -- new ink or musty old library smell. Posted September 11, 2006 |

It's the best lens I've ever seen in my whole life! This is probably because I really haven't looked at any others. Then again, why go looking for more when this one is so satisfying?! Posted September 09, 2006 |
