Jazz Fest was last Saturday and it was awesome! Lots of fun, friends, and good music, as always!

Yeah. Read the vast majority of the books that were assigned in high school while I was still in elementary school. (Got to tell you that rereading books later on was definitely different in terms of what I understood in some cases! I am looking at you D.H. Lawrence...)
 
Listening to the 25th anniversary edition of Graceland. I find it hard to order my top ten favorite albums - but this one is absolutely on the list.
 
Another tri-tone knot ring and a twisted tri-tone toe ring are all that are missing from the outfit - which I wore sometime last month.

How many have you read? 94/100
 
How many did you read willingly? 78/100
 
What is your favorite? Pick just one? Probably Pride and Prejudice, but it was a hard choice between The Little Prince, Secret Garden, Emma, Wuthering Heights, Winnie the Pooh, Charlotte's Web, The Handmaid's Tale, The Bell Jar, Anne of Green Gables, and Jane Eyre.
 
What is your least favorite? Heart of Darkness.
 
Which one have you read most? Am not sure...probably Charlotte's Web, The Little Prince, or Winnie the Pooh since I have to read them aloud for work a lot. On a personal level I make sure to reread at least ten of those once a year (Pride and Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland, Little Women, Sherlock Holmes, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Bell Jar...)
 
Which one did you read most recently? Just reread the His Dark Materials series last week.
 
Which one did you read first? Am not sure - most likely was Winnie the Pooh, but it could have been The Little Prince or Charlotte's Web.
 
How many do you own? 46/100 Used to own more, but have been doing a lot of book weeding. (As in over the last few months donated over 2,000 books to the library...)
 
Which one do you think everyone should read? Most of them! If I had to pick one...probably Complete Works of Shakespeare. A lot are "essential" reading to me.
 
Which book do you think is missing from the list? Just one book? There are a whole lot of books missing! No Mark Twain? I think Peter Pan should be there, the Iliad or the Odyssey, Paradise Lost, Canterbury Tales, Scarlet Letter, Walden, Death of a Salesman, Clockwork Orange, Slaughterhouse 5, something... anything by Virginia Woolf, Edna Ferber, Ernest Hemingway, and Willa Cather.
