Jane Eyre Movie!?

     About a month ago, I was watching previews for upcoming movies at 1 am. Why was doing such a time-wasting activity so late at night? Well, the simple answer is that I am a college student. The... who am i kidding. The real reason is pretty durn simple too. I was bored and didn't want to go to sleep. Getting back to the subject at hand, I found to my amazement a preview for Jane Eyre. I was delighted, but not because I read the book. My interest is instantly piqued in any movie that originated as a book. Even more so when I have actually heard of the book before.

     That same night, I grabbed my iPod and got a copy of Jane Eyre to read. Now, if you haven't gotten a book before on your iPod / iPad or whatever else you have, then I would suggest trying it. There are so many free books to get that are really cool. Keep in mind that these free books are old, I think earlier than 1920 or something, but you can still get some really great books. My favorite site to get them from is amazon.com, though. Barnes and Noble has a good selection too, but I just prefer Amazon. In order to get the ebooks from Amazon, you need to download their free Kindle app at the app store. 
     I regrettably am not finished with the book yet, but I can tell you that so far, it is very, very good. It is hard to tell with an ebook, but I would say I am close to half finished with it already. And before any judging starts, this isn't my usual pace with books. I decided to read it during school, which can be just asking for bad grades. This, if anything, should tell you that Jane Eyre is an exceptional book. Enjoy reading!!

About Me

Hey Everyone!
     My name is Brad this is my blog! I, as I assume many of you do, have many interests. The two that I spend most of my free time doing is reading and gardening. I figured, if I am going to start a blog, why not combine both of the things that really get me excited. Although I can make no promises, the majority of the content of the blog will be on these two topics.

 

      I usually only read books for fun, but occasionally I will read books to get some information out of them (usually by beating them senseless). Honestly though, one thing you will find out shortly is how devoted I am to keeping my books in perfect condition. I may post a blog describing just how anal I really am. (WARNING: you may think that I am OCD, but who says I'm not? Well, there is that pesky voice in my head, but that is an entirely different story.) Oh yes, getting back to my initial topic, my favorite genres include thrillers and fantasies, but I will pretty much go for anything. Many of the non-fiction books I will discuss will be about gardening.

     So gardening. I am pretty much a beginner. Enough said. Mainly, I am an herb gardener, but I fiddle with fruits and vegetables here and there. 

     This is what my blog will be about. I hope you continue to read and comment on how I am doing. Any comment is a good comment in my book. Well, scratch that. There can be hurtful comments that can take one to the edge of insanity, but no one would do that would they?

Note: Neither of these pictures belong to me. Mainly I am too much of a nub at this to know if using them is technically illegal. :|
