Novels! A photo! Good night!

[pyat]

I finished novel #8 of the year today - Dream-Carver, by Erin van Hiel. This novel is particularly significant to me because it was written by my wife.

I will write a review, but not right now. I've been awake since before 4 AM and need to work-out, take a warm bath, and then settle into bed for as long as possible.

For book #9, I have been instructed to read Jane Austen. Yes, I am a bookworm with a fondness for 19th century British literature, and yet I have managed to live 34 years without reading Jane Austen. I don't know why, or how. I actually had no familiarity at all with the characters or plotline of Pride and Prejudice until I watched the Keira Knightley film version a few nights ago. I probably should have read it, first!

I'll start reading tonight, while soaking away the -30 C windchill in the bath tub.

And, here's a photo of Luba's Coffee Boutique at St. Lawrence Market. Tomorrow, I intend to try her FAMOUS HOT CHOCOLATE (HAND MADE WITH MILK).



Wait a minute... POUND? TOWN? That doesn't rhyme! That doesn't rhyme!

Good night!

My fiancee and her family love P&P, and will have P&P week-ends at their cabin sometimes. Though they by far prefer the BBC version. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112130/)

Here's to warm tubs and hot chocolate.

And pounds.

After I read 'em, I'll start seeking out more film versions, I imagine!

The BBC version is much, much, much better than the Hollywood version... but that's to be expected. You can do so much more in 5 hours than you can in 2.
