updating myself

[lathriel]

I just bought (and convinced my mother to chip in for) 10 books; Barnes and Noble had a "buy two get one free" sale on the more classic literature, and then I found a decent looking book for $2.50. We bought:

-Brahm Stoker's Draccula
-Charlotte Bronte's (with the dots) Jane Eyre
-Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'urbervilles
-Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Huckleberry Finn
-Nathaniel Hawthorne's (Whose name was originally spelled without the "W" but he put it in to separate himself from John Hathorne, his great grandfather, who was a judge in the Salem witch trials) The Scarlet Letter
-Aesop's Fables
-Plato's Republic
-Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote
-and the random book: Frances Sherwood's The Book of Splendor

I thought it was time I read some of the "classics" in literature, whether I end up liking them or not. As a writer I should always be expanding my knowledge of literature... i guess... and they were all on sale, plus I got 10% off.

ahem.
