Re: What 'cha reading?
I'm reading, "Light in August" by Faulkner. The first 20 pages or so used such...exhausting detail for what could be a simple description of something, but I'm getting into it for some reason. I normally like ****ens, Austen, Dumas, etc. And I love poets as well.

Re: What 'cha reading?
Just started '1776' by David McCullogh. So far it's very good but I never seem to find time to read...

Re: What 'cha reading?
You're going to England on your vacation? Lovely! When will you be going?
I've heard 1776 is very good but I've not read it.

Re: What 'cha reading?
I'm also reading this fellow...such a way with words...truly beautiful...just a morsel of it...enjoy!
William Wordsworth
"SHE WAS A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT"
Written at Town-end, Grasmere. The germ of this poem was four lines composed as a part of the verses on the Highland Girl. Though beginning in this way, it was written from my heart, as is sufficiently obvious.
SHE was a Phantom of delight
When first she gleamed upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair;
Like Twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;
A dancing Shape, an Image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and way-lay.
I saw her upon nearer view,
A Spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin-liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A Creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A Being breathing thoughtful breath,
A Traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.

Paradise Lost, by John Milton. It's coming along slowly but steadily.

What do you think of it? I've not gotten around to reading Milton yet.
