I really think I'm starting to love The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It's like a little collection of different stories all mixed into one big thing. Jim's reasoning for everything is hysterical, like why the French don't speak English and why King Solomon wasn't a genius. I'm trying to read the book ten chapters at a time so I'm on chapter 20 right now. I just got finished with the part where these two guys were running from someone and they were trying to get sympathy from Huck and Jim and one guy told them he was really a the rightful Duke of Bridgewater. The other guy wanted to be treated well too, so he told them he was the rightful King of France (even though the King he was supposed to be was like six hundred years old). At first I actually thought Huck and Jim had fallen for it, but at the end of the chapter Huck said he might as well humor them, so I don't know what Jim thought, though he's pretty gullible.
I went to Green Bay, Wisconsin today with Simon, mom, and Grandma. I only went because I wanted to go to the Barns and Nobel there to get War and Peace and any other things I wanted to read that were on Coursen's list. I love bookstores...it's a shame that all the ones around where I live have closed down. ): Hopefully I can go to the beach tomorrow when the weather turns better. OvO
yay bookstore!!! Jordan and I went to butler to go bookshopping before surgery.. it's such a shame.
