The Story of Word.

I browsed through the information superhighway, searching for answers to a question I asked myself almost daily: How can I increase my brain capacity?

On this quest for knowledge I learned a couple of things:

1. TV is Evil.
As you stare mindlessly at the flickering TV screen, your brain essentially goes into zombie mode, because it doesn't have to work. As much as I love Mulder and Scully, my brain is just hanging out in neutral until the mystery is solved.

2. How to Exercise Your Noggin.
Actively using multiple senses at once makes a great work out. You can:
- listen intently to the rain and focus on the scent of a candle,
- indulge in a piece of chocolate whilst studying a work of art,
- etc. etc. etc.

3. Read a book.
THIS is the inspiration for my blog. When I learned how fabulous reading was for brain stimulation, I immediately started the task of listing books that could challenge my developing mind.

This is the journal of my progress. As I finish each book, I will record my thoughts and impressions here.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Completion Date: 6/9/2009
Rating: <3
Number of Pages: 367

My Most Memorable Quote (New to the blog!): Yeah, that's right, I'm going with the famous first line. It's just completely epic and very possibly the greatest first line in the whole wide world. It just immediately takes you into the story and tells you what's up. So here it is, My Most Memorable Quote of Pride and Prejudice:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

If you know me, you know that I love this book with a passion. I am such a girl, I know, but it's just amazing! The book is extremely well written, Jane Austen is a genius. You know, I can't help but love the story. It's so romantic, and as much as I like to pretend that I'm a tough, awesome sauce baller, I am also a hopeless romantic. The story just flows beautifully. The characters are just so well developed; you feel for all of them. You feel their embarassment, you feel their pain, you feel their joy . . . SO GOOD.

Well, the story is just incredible. Elizabeth is strong, independent, witty, and just awesome sauce. Mr. Darcy is so proud, but just so incredibly amazing! Their relationship is developed so well, I just love it. My heart melts every time I read that ending . . . .

Well, it's just an amazing book. Many people think that this book is just for girls, but I would respect anyone for reading Pride and Prejudice. It's a wonderful book!
