I draw pretty!

[butterflydreaming]

If anyone is interested in taking me up on this, I think the results could be funny. C'mon, it'll be awful.

1. Comment here and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and draw a picture using the mighty MS Paint.
2. You have no say in what I draw for you, or in how bad it will be!
3. Put this in your journal along with the pictures people drew for you.

If you want, I can even make it icon sized.

Obligatory visit/meal with family today, conversation included discussion of the movies Catwoman and Memoirs of a Geisha, which led to Sayonara and The Hawaiians. My brother wanted anchovies on the pizza, and oddly enough, I had the same inclination.

After Full Dark House, I have The Count of Monte Cristo. No, really -- I haven't read it before. Like Robinson Crusoe, it's one that I simply haven't read. I am trying to put together a list of necessary-to-have-read books. Dumas, Defoe... if I do it alphabetically, I can avoid Tolstoy for a while.

Suggest one? I'll tell you if I've read it.

The miserables is one of my favorite books, really. Some chapters are overly loaded with French history, but the characters are GREAT. The book alone is worth reading because of the characters.

Much of the 'history' in Les Miserables is horribly wrong, according to the foreword I read in my copy. And there's a lot of proselytizing in amongst the great characterization. But if you don't mind skipping the boring stuff, it's a good story.

Well, yes. One has to remember the guy got paid by chapter, so there is some filler. But it's worth it.

More so than The Hunchback of Notre Dame?

Well, I have yet to read that one.
