This is getting nuts....

It is not news that I read more than one book at a time.  This is the first time in a long time, though, where I don't know which book to read because I'm enjoying both of them so much!  And to make matters even more difficult, the new Jodi Picoult book comes out next Tuesday and I want to read it right away!  Plus, March 6, I think it is, Frank Peretti's first new book in over 7 years will be out!  I can't wait!  I signed up through Facebook to receive the book, so for every person who signs up, so many chapters become available for free!!!!  I have 10 chapters already waiting for me in my email!!!!!  Yeah!!!!  I love those authors; I read EVERYTHING they write!

But anyway, currently, I am reading Gone with the Wind, The Hunger Games, and The Picture of Dorian Gray.  All 3 are really great books that are each keeping my attention and making me want to read!  It's really pretty excited to be reading so many books at once that are each awesome in its own way!  The only one that is a new read for me is The Hunger Games, but I am still eating up the other two as if I've never read either one before!  Considering the fact that it's been close to 30 years since I last read Gone with the Wind, it feels like a first read!!!!

I honestly don't understand how/why people don't read.  It makes no sense to.  Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie version of The Hunger Games, but my imagination is doing a great job of seeing the story on its own.  I can't wait to watch the movie version of Gone with the Wind--again.  It truly is one of the few movies that does justice to the book and has characters, scenes, etc. that are worthy of the great novel.  Vivian Leigh is absolutely incredible as Katie Scarlett and Clark Gable was (and still is) the ONLY choice for Rhett Butler!!!  Oh, I love that man!!!! 

As you know if you read my previous post, I saw Dorian Gray, the movie, over this past weekend.  Boy was I ever disappointed.  I GET that Dorian lived a life devoted solely to pleasure [of the senses] and that Dorian is as sex-crazed as he's presented in the movie, but that doesn't mean I need to SEE it.  All of the boobs were totally unnecessary for the story as a whole.  I understand several of the things the director and writer chose to do with the story, but if he wanted to make a porno movie, why didn't he just say and do so?! 

I am honestly on pins and needles in anxiety about getting back to my books.  I have one I read just when I go to the bathroom.  One I read whenever I'm sitting in my "special" spot on my couch.  And the other I read when Samuel does his reading for homework.  And I am enjoying each book and can't wait to get to the next word, the next page, the next chapter of each one!!!!  It seems a little odd to be reading so many books at once that I am actually enjoying!  I usually read several books at once because I don't like at least one of the books I'm reading and reading something else helps take away the monotony of reading something I'm not enjoying!!!!

Now, I want to pick up each one and read each one---but all at the same time!!!!!!
