The big read.

So its a new year, and what people usually do at this time is make resolutions. I have absolutely no will power, so resolutions involving a change in my behavior or routine are definitely out. I always say I should read more and I think it's important that I start at the beginning. Therefore, my resolution is to read my way through the classics.
I think it's wise to begin with books that contain a subject matter within my comfort zone, and not dive in with some Edgar Allan Poe, the fact I'm using him as my most out-there example is probably very telling!

My first attempt is going to be Emma, by Jane Austen. I think it is a book that most young women should read, going by what I've read and heard of it. It will certainly break me in gently.
I shall be back to give my humble opinion of it, probably in some weeks as I'm a rather slow reader, in a bit of a Julie & Julia style.



This is my first book, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sucked in a little by the pretty covet illustration, but that was not the deciding factor.
I'm quite certain no-one is reading this, but just in case...recommendations welcome!
