Books bought

[ksmith]

Arrived in the mails today:

Mad Robins' POINT OF HONOUR (thanks to sartorias, who said many good things)

WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, a non-fiction work about psychopaths by Robert D Hare (because research needs must)

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (in which kaygo replaces the copy she misplaced ages ago)

and finally, JANE EYRE (because I've never read it).

I confess I have never hooked up with several of the classics. But folks here talked of JE the other day in a way that piqued my interest.

I am looking forward to it.

Jane Eyre is one of my touchstone books. Mind you, I read it first when I was ...eight?...nine? because my grandmother had bought one of those glassed in so-called 'bookshelves', complete with 'classics' though she did not herself, y'know, read. She had however, glanced at the books and recommended Jane to me because it was "about a little girl." I'll note that the next book I read out of the bookshelf was "A Doll's House."

Have fun *g*

My foks weren't great readers. What books I saw were non-fiction--politics, history. Occasionally Dad would dip into the odd male adventure.

I forgot when I started living at the library--8, 9?--but once they let me into adult books I never hit the classics section. Went from YA adventure to history of Hollywood, Golden Age SF, biographies, and those odd first encounter books written by folks who had been in communication with Venusians.
