Classics

Nanowrimo has been strictly required reading only.
I read "Jane Austen" by Carol Shields to prepare for the first Jane Austen Book Club introductory session. 185 pages. And I read To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf for Lit with Lunch today. 236 pages.
Both enjoyable, and several biographical things in common for Jane and Virginia, particularly fathers who turned their daughters loose in well stocked libraries and encouraged them to read widely!
The copy I had from our library had extensive pencil notes in the margins, which I actually loved. It was like reading an annotated edition, with parts pertaining to character and themes marked lightly. :)
