A Short Diversion

The "longer" books I have been perusing of late become tiring after awhile, so to refresh myself I searched out a short story a friend told me was hilarious, The Open Window by Saki (H.H. Munro). I found it and got a good laugh out of it! When you're tired of weighty books, relieve yourself with a short story! Find it here: http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/366/ . Saki's other stories look pretty good, too: http://www.readbookonline.net/books/Saki/77/. Enjoy! I'll get back with reviews when I finish the big stuff.

Currently Reading...



  • Take One by Karen Kingsbury. I'm on Ch. 2, pg. 36. So far it's good, a little "something bad's fixing to happen" coming across to me. I'll let you know when I'm done and include a review. :) Available on Amazon for as low as $0.57 new, paperback! http://www.amazon.com/Take-One-Above-Line-1/dp/0310266165
  • Things As They Are: Mission Work in South India by Amy Carmichael. It's 1 of her 2 books available in full view on Google Books, and I've been wanting to read some of her books, so this was my chance. I'm on page 175 of the first half, in the chapter, "The Elf." Lots of memorable quotes in it. Interesting and challenging thoughts for any Christian. Find it here: http://books.google.com/books?id=nj8XAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_slider_thumb#v=onepage&q=&f=false
  • Also, I've been reading on War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. It's going slow...don't look for a review anytime soon. But it's good. Really good.
I'll try to post reviews of books I've read recently as well. Be back soon!

Hi! I'm Stephanie, and I'm gonna blog about books and life, etc. Mostly about books, though. I delight in both old classics and new discoveries in the lit. world. Homeschooled, teenage, brunette. That's all you need to know about me. :) I'll blog soon about my most recent reads.
Thanks,
Steph
