Currently Reading
Pride and Prejudice
By Jane Austen
see related
I'm still binging on Jane Austen.  I feel I owe the world an explanation.

See, I ran out of reading material, and my Stanford Summer Reading List doesn't arrive for another week and a half, so I asked my mom for a good book, and she handed me the Kite Runner.

Apparently it is a really good book, and the first sixty pages or so were really good.  And then there was a rape scene that forced me to abandon the book and go into a frantic search for the lightest, happiest, fluffiest books I could locate.  And hence, we arrive at Jane Austen.  Jane Austen is the antithesis of rape.  No one even holds hands without an engagement ring, let alone attempt anything else without a wedding.

As an aside, the night before last someone forked my car with 48 Albertson's spoons.  I don't care that it was technically "spooned" rather than "forked".  Forking is now the general term used to describe the act of filling someone's car or living space with cutlery.  I can't for the life of me figure out who did it though.  I can't help but think it was a novice given that:
(a) There were only 48, not 350
(b) They were spoons
(c) Anne-Marie was out of town
(d) My sister was out of town and
(e) I don't think Kelsey would do this on her own.
Oh, and I certainly didn't fork my own car.

So who else forks cars in this town?

Damn... some one needs to teach them the proper way to fork a car/truck/thing.

The next couple passages after the rape are dark in a different way- because of the protagonist's reaction... but it does get more readable- much more so. But fine, be snooty with Jane Austin... >< Viva la Philip K. Dick.

I still have my spot saved in the book. I'm contemplating picking it up again. It's sitting on my bed staring at me...

WOAH WOAH WOAH. ILLEGAL FORKING!!! This is a message to all.

I, ANNE-MARIE ADKINS, AM THE ONLY PERSON PERMITTED TO PLACE CUTLERY IN ALLIE DUNWORTH'S CAR UNLESS I SAY YOU CAN.

Amatuer. 48 Spoons? Pah! Try 500 forks. That's right. 500 FORKS DAMN YOU.

I don't know who did that, but this glare is for you.

*GLARE*
