Anne Ellis posted a blog postUnder The Net, Iris Murdoch
I love Iris’s writing. It is utterly entrancing. She has an amazing ability to weave words and I am in love with her prose.She can describe people and places in clear details but without too many words, which is a skill few writers possess. Her descriptions of characters are immensely pleasurable to read. She doesn’t just describetheir looks, but adds in little tidbits of personality that allow eachcharacter to stand out in quirky detail.I would very much like to read more of her books.That…See More

So I might just be a total idiot but I can not figure out how the 'pages' thins works with blogger. I would like to create some pages, but I can't work it out. Their info hasn't helped me. So I'm appealing to fellow bloggers for a little help please. If you're willing and have the time - can you explain how to do this? or post a link to some instructions that make sense?! Please and thank you very very much. I feel like such a idiot. :-PA. See More

Anne Ellis posted a blog post100 books to read before you die
So I found this list of books "100 Books to Read before you Die" it's a pretty awesome list of reading. I've read a fair number of these books already, "Grapes of Wrath" I've read before. I read "Sophie's Choice" before too, and wow - if you've read it, you know what I mean. I don't really want to read it again. I've decided to give this list of books a go and write a blog about because isn't that what we all want to do now that we've seen or read Julie & Julia? Well, seriously, I love to…See More

Sophie's Choice - Why I won't re- read it
It all started because I watched Friends.There’s an episode where Phoebe is asked to be a surrogate for her estranged brother. She needs to decide and her mom (step mom, birth mom, mom’s friend?) gives her a puppy to look after. She then comes to take the puppy away to show Phoebe how hard it is to give up something you love. Phoebe gets all upset “don’t hurt the puppy!” and Rachel says, “this is just like Sophie’s Choice.” “Oh I never saw that!” Exclaims Phoebe. “Oh, it was only okay.” Replies… Continue
