New Read

I haven't been posting because no one else has, which is a silly excuse. Partly because I'm lazy too I guess. I started a new book last week after finishing Lolita. (I very much enjoyed Grama's post on it :) ) Now I am reading one called I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. I really, really like it. It's from the perspective of a 17 year old girl living in England in a very old castle in the 1930's. It is written as if it is her journal and what I find so fascinating about it is that I feel like I could have written it. I very much relate to the character and feel like I could be reading my own journal as if it were me living as a poor family in a castle in England, writing about her life and the people around her and the small things she notices and appreciates. She has a rather optimistic view on life (so far) and leads her life at times as if it is a fairy tale, even though it is far from it. It is a very easy read and I'm sure I will breeze through the end. And maybe my next one will be one I choose rather than one Paige has. Though, that has been working out rather well for me. Glad to hear from everyone again. Keep on truckin!
