Re-Rebecca.

:p

A live journal meme going around right now has people grabbing the closest book and posting a line from a specific page. The closest book to my computer happened to be Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier. And it also happens to be my favorite. I think I'm going to re-read it today for the umpteenth time. "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again..."

So that will be book #2 for 2009. No rule that says re-reading books doesn't count!

First book for 2009!

I read Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë in one day. I liked it. It was a simple story without any of the wild drama the other Brontë sisters wrote. No obsessive love like Wuthering Heights, and no crazy wife locked in the attic like Jane Eyre. It's a nice tale about a governess and her life with two different families- one with horrid children, the other with somewhat shallow daughters. She finds love with a vicar. Happy ending for Agnes, no strings attatched! Agnes is almost too good to be real, but she's smart and tough, even when things are terrible.

One book down, 59 to go!
