Isn’t that what my posts always are!
Today I did more exercise than I have in a while. I expect to be really sore tomorrow all over 
I finished The Old Curiosity Shop, by Dickens, The Children of Húrin, by Tolkien, and started Hot Water by Wodehouse. I can heartily recommend The Old Curiosity Shop. The Children of Húrin was not as pleasant as I thought it would be, and a lot of the genealogy was confusing to me. The names are difficult to remember, and I found myself feeling like I was reading a history written for the natives of a land that was completely foreign to me. It was very unlike The Hobbit or LOTR to me.

Mom read the Dickens out loud to our family over the winter. My favorite of his is Great Expectations. And I recommend the two movie set too! I loved the Mrs. Havisham and Estella characters.
