So, now that it's that time of year again, I'm sure many people other than myself are packing up their boogie boards, slipping on their flip flops, and heading for the beach. What do you all plan to read whilst soaking up the sun?
I'm taking the following with me:
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Maus (a graphic novel) by Art Spiegelman
some installments of Tsubasa by Clamp
I want to try to get halfway through at least one of the two novels that are the first in my list. I need to make some headway through these massive tomes, if I want to get in a lot of reading before summer's end. whee

I'm not planning to go to the beach, but I do have a vacation planned in a few weeks time. I think I'll be bringing Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen.

musing_maiden Lunar Kissed I'm not planning to go to the beach, but I do have a vacation planned in a few weeks time. I think I'll be bringing Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen. Good choice. You really can't go wrong with Jane Austen. Everything she put her pen to ended up chock-full of wit and romance. I read Pride & Prejudice a couple of years ago, but I didn't like it very much. Maybe I might appreciate it better with further readings. It could have been the victim of overhype so that is probably a contributing factor. Mr. Darcy strikes me as nothing more than a rich prettyboy and I can't for the life of me imagine why women swoon over him.

It's the discovery of his nobility that makes him sizzle for me. :3 And he's also intriguing; he's an enigma. Is he *really* as arrogant as he appears to be, or is there more to him? Surely, there must be, since he has a friend as kind and effervescent as Mr. Bingley. And so there is.

I'm heading down to Maine to go to the beach next week.
:3
But I just read my two latest books, so I'll have to see if I can snag the latest Janet Evanovich before I go. If not, I'll probably just finish The Elegance of The Hedgehog and re-read something.
