“I’ve been as bad an influence on American literature

as anyone I can think of.”

My granma called me today…awesomely she scored me a first edition copy of The Thorn Birds and From Here to Eternity. She’s the best. Can’t wait to read them. Now if only I could read faster. I love reading but it is such a chore. A book has to be very special for me to actually finish it. I finished The Thin Man today and now I’m determined to have a relationship like Nick and Nora’s. Read it. It’s absolutely amazing. I have to get a hold of the movie now. It’s supposed to be great.
