  More than a little crazy I found this book very hard to reread as an adult. If it were written today the author would surely be accused of using drugs as they wrote it. It's more than a bit schizophrenic. I posted this on 14 March 2010

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - More than a little crazy

I found this book very hard to reread as an adult. If it were written today the author would surely be accused of using drugs as they wrote it. It's more than a bit schizophrenic.

Bugs - receiving installments of finished books

For the last two or three days I have suddenly started receiving installments from books I've finished. I know for sure that I've received extra installments for "Little Women" and "Poems of Christina Rossetti". The installments were from the middle and ends of the books and they both show as finished in my manage what your reading list. Also they came at different times than I've ever had feeds set up for.
