The Awakening by Kate Chopin (Show Pan). I will be starting this today. I understand that this book was so shocking to Ms. Chopin's readership in the late 1800's that she never again in her lifetime found a publisher for her works. My version of the book has a cover that shows the protagonist offering up one of her tatas. I wonder if it has anything to do with that?
Domestic Violets by Matthew Norman. A surprisingly funny book about modern man with all the trappings of modern office, smart, sexy wife, sassy daughter and drunk father. It's a good one!
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. Me and my seventh grade boy are reading this one together. He's quite intrigued and we've committed to the rest of the series.
As you can see, we crack each other up and we are having a ton of fun using funny voices for Digory, The Queen and Uncle Andrew.
Have a good reading week!
I've never read anything other than Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe. Two of the others in the series are also on the 1001 Children's Books You Must Read list, so I hope to read them some day.
ReplyDeleteHere is my It's Monday! What Are You Reading? I hope you will stop by!
That's so lovely that you are reading the Narnia books with your son. When I first read them I read them my mum was reading them at the same time too. My dad started them as well but he got distracted half way through and didn't finish (not unusual for him to lose interest in a genre or series like that).
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! My post reflects two weeks of reading. Please come see what I'm reading now.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to read through Narnia with my little guy when he gets bigger!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
How cute that you're reading together. I love it. I can't wait to do that with my little one.
ReplyDeleteI loooved the Awakening. It's been ages since I've read it but I remember really liking it. Enjoy!
I'll be interested in your reaction to The Awakening. I read it this past year. Keep women's issues in the back of your mind while reading it. I'm reading The Feminine Mystique right now, and I'm having interesting discussions with my WEM reading group.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't wait for the day my and my young'un start reading together. I sure have a long way to go. I'll be following your posts to see how that goes. Happy Reading.
ReplyDeleteThat one for you and and your son looks like good reading. I hope you two enjoy the series.
