Catching Up

I've been reading a lot lately, but posting very little.

The Stand - Holy Crap I read the 1400 page version.

Around the World in 80 Days - My first foray into Jules Verne.

Napoleon's Pyramids - William Deitrich - Indiana Jones in the time of Napoleon.

Divergent - Veronica Roth - Another dystopian YA book.

I'm busy. I'm reading but feeling guilty for not writing. I will not feel complete until I write something, but there are so any good things to read it's hard to pull myself away long enough to sit and write. I'd rather be reading.

I'm still making my way through thick books on Paris and French history. This week I'm finishing up Eiffel's Tower: and the World's Fair Where Buffalo Bill Beguiled Paris, the Artists Quarreled and Thomas Edison Became A Count. It's Belle Epoque Paris mixed with Wild Bill Cody and Thomas Edison.

Four more weeks until my European Adventure. I think I will read Sense and Sensibility while I'm in Bath and absolutely nothing while I'm in Paris. I'll be too busy shopping for books to read at all.
