I was into Disney movies. Especially the classic ones that I did not watch as a child for some reason or another. Dumbo, etc.
Then I got into old movies. I watched the movies that I've always heard of but never got around to watching for whatever reason. Singing In the Rain, etc.
Then I found that I really had a love for old vintage things.
But soon found a new love for thrifty shopping. I could go shopping at vintage antique shops for hundreds of dollars, or I can buy cute thrifty stuff I like for just a few bucks! That is were I found this book....
The Treasure of American Short Stories. I bought this for only $2.99. And what a treasure this book truely was for me. Because it opened up my mind. And after I read some short stories out of this book, I went to the book store and picked up some classic literature. Books that I should have probably read by now in my life, but never did. I'm 40 years old. That is the focus of my reading right now.
I thought that Disney created Snow White but it was written by the Grimm's brother's. It's in the Grimm's Fairy Tale book that I bought. This brings to mind what someone close to me told me. "Everything comes from books." The not so popular, old classic black and white movies probably came from books. I'm starting to learn that now.
Am I on my way to Radcliffe? No probably not. Wouldn't want to be, I don't think. I'm just a high school drop out. Then I married a wonderful man and had beautiful kids. And yes I'm just a housewife. And all my spare time is going into my reading. I feel like I'm really studying. Ugh, I hated school. But don't tell my kids that! But I can teach myself with all this reading. My family laughs at me in all fun because I'm horrible in math. I told my hubby that I want to teach myself to be a math wizard one day. Hey, you just never know! "Knowledge is power."...Helen Keller.
And this is how this blog came to be. I thought that I could write reviews on all of these classic books that I have read and the ones yet to come through my hands.
I'd love to hear your comments to my posts as time goes by.
If I'm ever incorrect on anything, please feel free to point that out in a kindly manner. Hey, I'm learning to. Just like everyone else. And I would like to visit your blogs as well.
Happy reading! Anne
