More Reading, Less Knitting

Taking a break from 19th century British books, I've been reading "The Anglo Files," a hilarious, but unflattering picture of the British. I guess I'm also taking a break from my obsession with Canada to indulge my obsession with England.

On the other hand, I have *finally* reached the final ruffle part of the Citron shawl. It should only take another month to finish (I hope not).

Bronte-a-thon

It's supposed to be a Bronte-along, but since I was planning on reading some of their works anyway, and there is such a wealth of "fan fiction" available, it's gotten a little out of hand.

So far, I have read:
  • Emily's Ghost
  • The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte
  • The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte (I guess she had a lot of secrets...)
  • Jane Eyre (the graphic novelization)
I am currently reading "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall." I have also started watching "Wuthering Heights" (the Masterpiece Classic version that was on a couple of weeks ago). It differs slightly from the book and I'm finding it difficult to follow.
