More Than Words

So... I'm going back to school in a week. Didn't I just get back? :-( And I have a bunch of books that I should read... and a bunch of books that I want to read. It's a dilemma. I really should be reading some plays to get ahead for class. And I guess I will. But poo. I want to read for pleasure! :-S Here is my list of books to read for fun... I hope I can at least get through 2 in a week. (I def can...) and then I guess I will bring the rest.

BOOKS
The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray
The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn by Robin Maxwell
Wicked by Gregory Maguire (re-read)
Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire
The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

There is more.... but that's the pile by my bed right now. I did just finish Ophelia by Lisa M. Klein. It was pretty good. I found it in the 'Young Adult' section of B&N... and it was a little young. The language was also a tiny bit too modern at times; but, overall, the storyline was quite good. I was say it was really good read and worth it, besides minor complaints. The story is basically another take on Hamlet by Shakespeare from Ophelia's point of view. It definitely gives the character more depth... and it gives a lot more depth to the story.
