A Tale of Two Cities

April is a Dickensian month for me. Can you believe I've never read this? I made it though high school and college as an English major and still, I've never read ATOTC. So I'm on like, p. 6, and I think I'm in over my head. So far some guy is trudging up a hill, I think. I might need to hire a tutor who is also a sophomore at the local high school to guide me through this. How sad. My friend Alison, who suggested the book for my April read promises me that while you have to slog through the first part, the rest is a great read. I'm holding her to it.

Here's a thought - "Read More Classics" on my 2013 resolution list?

In a complete mental reversal, I'm thinking of 50 Shades of Gray for May - mostly because both my mother and my sister have read it, and I can't let them have a thing together without me getting in on it too, because I'm childish like that. In the meantime I'll pretend I'm WAY above reading trashy novels and act all high-brow because I'm reading Dickens. This from the girl who read the entire Hunger Games series during 3am feedings last year. Also? I will neither confirm or deny that I listened to the entire Twilight series while driving around the state of MD during my sales rep gig.
