I am so happy! Why? Because Levin is happy! For so long he had been so depressing and thinking about death all the time…but not anymore!

“So it’s no longer time to die?” said Stepan Arkadyich, pressing Levin’s hand affectionately.
“No-o-o!” said Levin.

I literally grinned ear to ear when I read that.

I havn’t done much reading in the past few days but I’m past the halfway point…I’m at page 453. I’m already trying to think of what books I should read next. I wish I were a faster reader sometimes…my list is huge.

I figure it’s a good idea to read two books at a time. One for when I’m on the train and such, and the other for spending a few hours in my room completely immersed. Here are books that I own but havn’t read yet. I need to read all the books I actually own before going out and buying more. Some of these I bought a year ago!

The Great Divorce by C.S Lewis
Reflections on the Psalms by C.S Lewis
The Iliad by Homer
Odyssey by Homer
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Paradise Lost by John Milton
Vanity Fair by William Thackeray
City of Joy by Dominique Lapierre
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Gah! Nine books. I think I will read Paradise Lost and…The Iliad. I mean, The Iliad and Odyssey are so classic, I’d like to be able to say I’ve read them in their entirety, but so far I’ve only read excerpts in school. We’ll see how I feel once I finish the books I’m reading now though.
