May Reading

Northanger Abbey is my favourite Austen after Pride and Prejudice.

I am reading The Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan. I read the first two books years ago, and thought I might give the series another try.

I've never read Austen, or any of the Brontes. I like the film adaptations. The characters and plots are interesting, and I like Dickens and George Eliot and 19th century writers in general. Don't know why I've avoided those other writers.

I'm reading Free Air by Sinclair Lewis. It's the lightest of the Lewis books I've read. Early 1900's, a young woman and her father take a road trip. She's driving, which I guess was rare in those days. It's sort of a romance -- not just between the young woman and a mechanic she meets -- but a romance about travel and traveling people and the country. It's delightful.

So was Lolita...other than the mechanic...and the delightful part.
