Quick one: Books

I have recently bought some more books, which I would like to mention here because my mother and sister will really like them. Ha.
Anyway, I bought The Secret Garden (ooooh yes), finally found the second book of Harry Potter (Chamber of Secrets) (these were both for 50p) and also bought a theological/christian book, the first one in a long time, from our dear friend C.S.Lewis, entitled, The Screwface Letters.
I am currently finishing Jude the Obscure, from who else but Thomas Hardy (love that man), and now I am in dubio as to which book I should read next. Should I dig in to religion (with a splash of irony and C.S.Lewis's genius) or relax by taking a trip to Hogwarts (now the memory of the first book is still fresh). Or should I just go for the classic and take in the scent of the Secret Garden (renewing all those faint memories of the film I saw so many years ago).
What do you think?

  1. Start with HP (because you read the first one recently), you can easily read it in a few hours. Lewis next, as the Screwface Letters is a real classic that you haven't seen in a movie before. And last, but certainly not least, The Secret Garden. Perfect for losing yourself in the story.

  2. Perfect choice both from Hanne (purchasing this books) as from Ciska (reading).
    Enjoy yourself! Love, mama
