I added it on Goodreads, so I won't forget.<br /><br />@Natalie - It sounds like we have some things in common. I suspect if we all ended up at the museum together that you and my wife would have a great time chatting and ooo-ing and ah-ing over the art, while your husband and I would only see a dozen pieces before delving into a long, deep debate about some obscure historical reference. Good times.<br /><br />@Stacy - The photographer has a whole collection of this mansion. It's beautiful.

I love that mansion picture. And yes I tend to linger a minute or two over each thing in museums.Stacy Henriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303383087338174942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663364954026725260.post-84572464900238037852011-07-20T08:54:46.118-05:002011-07-20T08:54:46.118-05:00My husband and I treat art museums the same way. ...My husband and I treat art museums the same way. He wants to spend a few minutes analyzing every painting and I want to spend my time with the amazing stuff. Go figure.<br /><br />I actually love THE GREAT GATSBY. It's not the kind of book I normally enjoy, but I think it's a masterpiece. There's so much symbolism buried in the scenes. Of course I'm not sure I would have caught it all if I'd just read it for fun. It was required reading in one highschool and 2 college classes.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861022355718378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663364954026725260.post-40377545948249859282011-07-20T08:48:27.936-05:002011-07-20T08:48:27.936-05:00Amazing post!

Have you read The Name of the Wind?Kaye P. Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300628601690238082noreply@blogger.com
