#9 on my summer bucket list is to read a classic. I looked up the World Library's list of top 100 classics of all time and picked Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Looking at the list, I realized I am an idiot. I think I've read maybe 12-15 of the books on this list! And most of them, I had to read for school. Maybe 2 or 3 of them I've actually read for pleasure. How depressing. Though, the authors who picked this list might be a bit crazy. Pippi Longstocking? Really?Has anyone read this book? What did you think? I'm surprised that none of the Bronte sisters' books were required reading in school. But then again, I was an International Baccalaureate student in high school and we had to read some strange stuff. No Charles Dickens or William Faulkner. Instead, we were subjected to Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon and Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale. Both weirdly disturbing books, at least in my 16 year old self's eyes.
I made another new recipe yesterday and my work loved them! Cookies from a cake mix, who would have thunk it? I guess everybody, because there are hundreds of recipes for them. They called this recipe Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies but I don't agree with the title :) They were light and fluffy, not gooey. We really liked them and maybe next time, I'll make this chocolate version instead!
