Done Done Done

I read:
Isle of Swords 334 pages
Scoop 336 pages
The Centurion's Wife 378 pages
The Screwtape Letters 209 pages
Ben Hur 560 pages
The Captive Bride 296 pages
Mansfield Park 472 pages
For a grand total of 85 hours!

This really didn't change my reading habits much because I am already a book addict and have always prefered reading to most other forms of entertainment with many specific exceptions. This did though, help make reading a more regular thing rather than just a random activity. I quite enjoyed this assignment!

Still Ben Hur

I'm still reading Ben Hur! He is searching for his mother and sister, entering a chariot race to shame an enemy, and meeting with one of the wise men who saw Jesus when he was born! Yay! I've just gotten to the half way point so I'm sure I will be posting more than I already have about this :)

Ben Hur part III

Ben Hur is actually pretty exciting-and i thought it would just be a lot of old fancy english! I actually find it pretty funny that Ben Hur is a slave because he was leaning over the edge of his roof and a tile fell off and almost killed someone. Now he just survived a battle with pirates and is going to get his freedom! Yay freedom is coming freedom is coming freedom is coming oh yes i know...

Another Ben Hur

This week I continued to read Ben Hur. It has many cool descriptions of things that I like when I'm not half asleep. At this point the plot is still developing, but it is still interesting.

Ben Hur!

This week I began to read the book Ben Hur which I got at a book sale last year for twenty-five cents! I decided to read a classic just to see if i would like it or not. So far, I really like it and think its it very interesting and clever.
