Hey--did you find some good classics to read for the challenge? Quite a list you got there on your blog!<BR/><BR/>*Kim - Oh, I think I'm in the minority with WH--but there is just something so romantic to me about Cathy and Heathcliff's strange, haunted relationship. Who knows! I'd love for you to join us! Even if you decide not to do the challenge, feel free to participate in the meme--just mention the classics challenge link, if you dont mind.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-21500127777112075872008-05-19T21:08:00.000-05:002008-05-19T21:08:00.000-05:00Great meme!

I have loved many a classic, and to feel completely educated, one must read a certain number of classics, right? (Except Wuthering Heights. I will never recommend that one to anyone!!!)Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-55947542209376016162008-05-19T04:29:00.000-05:002008-05-19T04:29:00.000-05:00Maddy has taken to lying on the back of my love se...Maddy has taken to lying on the back of my love seat, beneath the floor lamp I use to read.

Oh well...hope that holds you over for a while. :)<BR/><BR/>*Lit Feline - I know you're swearing off challenges, but you're welcome to participate in the meme anyway! Just provide a link back to the challenge site, if you don't mind. Scarlet Pimpernel is a definitely a fun read and not very long at all--not like War and Peace. Did you ever finish that?? <BR/><BR/>When it was just me (before I lived with Hubby), Maggie was allowed to sleep in the bedroom and would often sleep on my back. I can't read on my stomach, though...neck krinks!<BR/><BR/>*Joy - you are such a stinker--acting all nice and innocent!! :) I thought that was the strangest comment ever until I read your post. You can grumble all you want, but if I catch other people in the act--I'm going to blame you!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-50906717886436962312008-05-18T06:48:00.000-05:002008-05-18T06:48:00.000-05:00Hi Trish!

I still hesitate before reading one though, which is a shame. Challenges like yours are good excuses to give in to the urge. :-) <BR/><BR/>Maggie is so adorable! I have a slightly different problem. If I am lying on my stomach reading, with the book on the bed, my cat will come and lie on my book. :-SLiterary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-80534801373183732262008-05-17T21:17:00.000-05:002008-05-17T21:17:00.000-05:00Ooooh, another Maggie pic!

It is about a young naive girl who is tempted by some smarmy man to basically test her purity. Lame-O! :) Someone, perhaps Henry Fielding?, made a parody of the book entitled Shamela--that one was a little better.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I could stand it if Maggie laid across my neck!<BR/><BR/>*Laura - SP is a little predictable but it is still a fun read! Maggie isn't very much fun (not like Belle), but she is sweet.<BR/><BR/>*PK - Yup--two of my favorite things: a good book and a cuddly cat. :)<BR/><BR/>*Nymeth - I look foward to your answers! Even after looking online for a potential definition of what a classic is--people still can't agree. It's been a lot of fun, though, seeing everyone's "should be/will be" classics suggestions.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-14108319692964033712008-05-17T16:16:00.000-05:002008-05-17T16:16:00.000-05:00Great meme, I will definitely do it later on.

But she can be quite annoying, as her favorite place to be is lying across your neck, which I positively can't stand.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I must be more classically deprived than I even realized...I've never even heard of Pamela! (But it sounds like I'm not missing much there, huh?) The worst one for me is Babbitt. I still shudder 25+ years later thinking about the sheer exercise in boredom that one was. Oh, but I loved Wuthering Heights, too!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.com
