It's a new year

Before Christmas, I started working on my books for graduate school and began reading Wuthering Heights. I like it, but was surprise by the vocabulary. I think that I've been reading YA lit for such a long time that I had forgotten the language of many classics. What have you been reading?

For the past few days since Mrs. Bailey's goddaughter went missing, I have been focused on newspaper and news website reading. She is such a sweet girl; I remember her coming to the school and helping out. She is like a daughter to Mrs. Bailey. I am so sad for them. It seems today that Meredith Emerson will not be found alive; it's heartbreaking.



I have jury duty next week, so I will catch up with you guys sometime soon.

Classics?

What do readers consider classics? Lately I have been reading almost all YA lit and have notice that classics are often alluded to in YA books.

I decided that my next read will be Wuthering Heights because in Eclipse, Bella reads the book over and over. Is it because she and Edward are like the characters in Wuthering Heights? I have to finish Eclipse first, but then I am definatly on to Wuthering Heights to find out more. I had a little hiatus from reading to complete my grad school work, but hopefully between preparing to move, Christmas shopping, and attending to an almost 4 year old wild- child, I'll have some time to read!

Do you like classics? What do you consider a classic? What's your favorite classic?
