We are now onto Prince Caspian and enjoying it very much. It is a great, relaxing way to spend time together, and I think C.S. Lewis's books are beautifully written. I'm majoring in Art Education right now at my university, so naturally Madeline L'Engle's "Walking on Water" looks like a very interesting read! I'll have to pick it up sometime.

Very different from my normal reading pattern! (I love Elizabeth Goudge as well). In both stories, the (numerous) characters are forced to live with the consequences of their own choices, with many of them being poor choices. Anna Karenina, particularly, was a page turner as well as sometimes hard to read because of sheer frustration with how she was throwing everything away for a short term passion. Sad.
