About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

all was quiet on the blog....
I am reading a book called "The Singing Creek Where the Willows Grow..." - a story about Opal Whiteley. She is odd, the book is odd, the whole story is odd. Look her up. She was a child prodigy of sorts, touched by religion and nature. I am reading the biography section now, and then the book moves on to her actual writings. And I am reading "Galapagos", by Vonnegut.
In the middle of The Persians, by Aeschylus. It ought to be subtitled, "A Guide to Winners Writing History Books," but still it's not bad as ancient Greece readings go.
More about Opal Whiteley:

Danika, Chris directed The Persians in the spring of '08 at the university.
Oops. Wrote under Olivia's name there.
The wiki is a little different than the book, as I read she actually moved to LA in an attempt to work in Hollywood. Maybe wiki just didn't go in to that detail. The two stories still don't seem to mesh up. Nothing I read meshes up. It's odd. Like people care, but not too much...I guess the interest is her work, and not her life so much. And whether it was a hoax.
