About Me

There's not much to say about me. I'm Christian, older than a teenager, and I live in Wolverine's hometown.

• Life on the Mississippi 11% complete
• Dombey and Son finished

  I need this in hardcopy It has a very despicable antagonist, some endearing characters, and a very good plot. I don't agree with the wiki opinion that Florence was a nobody. She was enough of a somebody for the story. I posted this on 30 January 2012

• Journey to the Centre of the Earth finished

  Typical The old books of this type all have a very similar ending. Even though this one's happier than most it's not very different otherwise. I posted this on 25 January 2011

• Secret Adversary finished

  I'd like to get it on hard copy sometime for a second read. Very skillfully done. I had figured out who Mr. Brown was, but then Mrs. Christie threw me a red herring. I posted this on 31 July 2009

• Vanity Fair finished
• Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia finished
• Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Written by Herself finished
• The Count of Monte Cristo finished
• The Enchanted Castle finished
• Villette finished

  Made me cry. I love Charlotte Bronte's plain and grumpy little heroines, and with 'Villette' she made me care enough about Lucy to actually cry rather hard at the ending of the book. I posted this on 31 July 2009
