/ December 27, 2011Lost the desire to blog for a bit, but sitting down one day I said to myself, Hey, I’ve read all these books and still reading, why not blog about them. Thus a new category was started called Classic Men. Although each entry is about a main character of a book, I generalized it.
Hope you enjoyed your Christmas Holidays. 🙂

Had a pretty quiet family dinner and evening with our large (and growing) extended family. Hope yours was a pleasant one too. xo
