Great Expectations for the Day
Okay, if you don't do great things on a day like this, you only have yourself to blame. Today is the birthday of both C.S. Lewis (he'd be 107) and Louisa May Alcott (she'd be 173). Lewis of course wrote The Chronicles of Narnia and several thought-provoking Christian works (no, I haven't read them, but I hear from others that they are thought-provoking...). Alcott wrote Little Women, but if you hated it and thought it was cheeseball like I did, don't feel bad: she didn't like it either. She preferred writing dark, Gothic novels in which women who made deals with the devil and ruined children...

Cool.

"The safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts." --C.S. Lewis

Now, go. Write your novels. I'm going to go make a deal with the devil (maybe he'll finish the baby's room).

I am actually reading the Chronicles of Narnia right now and really like it. They are also very much Christian based (although its an underlying message).

I don't think I am smart enough to read anything else by him.

I am dying to read the Chronicles of Narnia! I've read some a long, long time ago but now I wanna start all over again.
