I'll just watch the movie, it followed it pretty well, didn't it? (HA! They never do.). I will, however, rent the Scarlet Pimpernel. Apparently my friend, Joy, who had THE SAME FRENCH TEACHER saw it in high school. I must have been sluffing that day. I hated French.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818780443734082753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311922295137109545.post-23011433437784073322009-08-06T09:53:11.706-06:002009-08-06T09:53:11.706-06:00Joy, reading in high school was cool(maybe even &q...Joy, reading in high school was cool(maybe even "plat") but the rest of high school was SO bronze. I'd rather just not work OR be in high school and read all day. I somehow never read of Mice and Men. I think I'll add that to my reading list.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818780443734082753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311922295137109545.post-13847252488198681252009-08-06T09:41:11.081-06:002009-08-06T09:41:11.081-06:00I remember reading Pride and Prejuidice, Fahrenhei...I remember reading Pride and Prejuidice, Fahrenheit 451 (HATED IT), Of Mice and Men, Wuthering Heights (which I hated then, I should maybe try that one again), The Awakening, Beloved, and a bunch of Shakespeare.
