  1. Your list of books makes me so happy! I just finished reading Brave New World, which I can't say that loved, but Flowers for Algernon is definitely a winner. The Screwtape Letters is amazing, becuase C.S. Lewis is a genius, and it's a book that I would suggest making a priority on anyone's reading list. I, too, have Eats, Shoots & Leaves on my shelf, and I can honestly say that it's made me laugh out loud. Not a bad for a book on grammar! The Glass Menagerie is one of the many wonderful things I'm currently reading, and it is superb. If you like it, I would suggest Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, though it's likely you've already read it. If you're feeling adventurous, Viginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway is proving to be an excellent read, though I'm going to need someone to help me puzzle some of the symbolism out :) I apologize for prattling on, but I can't help but get excited when someone asks a question about books!

    1. I LOVE The Screwtape Letters and pretty much every other book by Lewis. He is amazing. And yes, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was hilarious! Definitely one of the best grammar books.
      I actually haven't read Miller's Death of a Salesman. I don't even own it. Hmm, I need to fix that.
      I've also never read any of Woolf's. I feel so unread now!
      Thank you for the recommendations! I'm pumped to read all of them!!
      (And prattling about books is one of the best things in the world! (That's a nice word. Prattling. I'm going to use that today.))

    2. I have read Miller's The Crucible. Even though I read it for school and had to analyze it to death, I still really enjoyed it.
