Thanks for all the affirming comments yesterday.  I certainly don’t fault y’all (yikes, it came out my mouth, I mean brain, that way!) for reading and not commenting or only reading in spurts…I’m certainly in a season of less blog-reading and blog-commenting myself!

Carrie blogged about this, and I tried it out and found it pretty funny.  It’s a book suggestion tool.

Let’s see what it suggests…

I enter “Oliver Twist.”  It comes back with Poe’s The Telltale Heart.  No thanks.

I enter “The House of Mirth.”  It comes back with How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines.  Actually, that sounds interesting, I just don’t know what it has to do with House of Mirth.

I enter “Pride and Prejudice.”  It comes up with Mansfield Park.  Umm, that’s the worst of Austen’s works.

I enter “Out of the Silent Planet” (one of the books in C.S. Lewis’s space trilogy.  Read it.).  It comes back with a Star Wars fan fiction book.  Blech.

I enter “1984.”  It comes back with 1984. Ummm, thanks.

Alright, that’s enough of that.  If you were the book suggestion tool, what would you suggest for a book you enjoy? I’ll go first:

If you liked Pride and Prejudice, you may like House of Mirth.

Moving from my cultured interest to one that is just a part of our culture, Rock Chalk Jayhawk and Boomer Sooner!  (If I want to be totally crazy, I’d add, “Go Tarheels!”)  Why do all the good teams play on the same night?
