JR’s List Item #27 – (March report) Read at least one book a month until my 60th birthday.
March reading selection
I read the Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. I enjoyed the book. It was a nice mixture of humorous and serious moments woven together to tell the story (not to mention that one of the main characters raised Rhodesian Ridgebacks-I happen to have one). I decided to rent the movie of the book as one of my movies for Item # 29 on my list. I should have know better, since the movie of a book is seldom a good interpretation of the book. If I had never read the book, I probably would have found the movie more enjoyable. But I had and it wasn't.
