SAD. I had forgotten just how incredibly harsh Harriet was in her diaries. Makes me feel much better about diaries of my youth.

A friend of mine refuses to see Atonement. I saw the movie of I Capture the Castle and it made me question that I'd loved the book. I need to get my hands on a copy of Harriet and the sequel, the Long Secret. Jennifer, I think this is a great example of why it is sometimes wise to avoid movies of books we love.

I'd start with stuff from the beginning. Wrinkle in Time, in fact, does seem a fabulous starting point. Tesseracts! Mrs. Who and Mrs. Whatsit! Hey, why not celebrate your lack of goats!

I can't decide which books to read! I am thinking about ditching all the stuff I should do today, going back to bed, and reading girlhood classics. I can’t decide which books to read!
