Book and Movie Meme

I shamelessly stole this meme from Love2Learn Mom over at Studeo. I thought it was neat to see which of these I'd read and/or seen as a movie...

I guess my "great books" experience in college has served me well! Although I must say that my Dad was a high school English teacher, and really deserves the credit for exposing me to all sorts of great literature. Not only did he actually assign some those books for me to read (as my English teacher) but we also had a plethora of good reads all over the house.

This is one thing, DH remarked, that we seem to be doing right with our own kids.

Lots of books.

Lots of reading.
