It remains one of my biggest regrets that I lived in Germany for three years and never went to Paris (or England for that matter). And get reading!

They don't sell tickets, but it is a really good search engine to find airfare prices, routes, options etc. It asks you to sign in, but you don't need to, you can search it as a guest. Then when you find what you like go directly to the airline website and book with them. Much better than booking through Expedia or other sites like that. (Unless you go for a consolidator ticket, which is a whole different story.)Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-87337626405320475202010-03-03T17:33:30.700-06:002010-03-03T17:33:30.700-06:00Congratulations.

Worth every penny.<br /><br />That is a challenging reading list, but some of it is really enjoyable. Frankenstein is a quick read, Whitman is extremely accessible and one of my favorite poets, House of Mirth is wonderful, and Mill on the Floss is pretty good, but definitely a little more work than some of the others. Moby Dick and Scarlet Letter would be the biggest challenges for me. I have tried to read both on several occasions and haven't been able to do it. And I might be one of the few people you kind of know who has actually read Edgar Huntly. I enjoyed it when I had to read it for my American Studies MA.<br /><br />You will have plenty of great things to blog about that is for sure.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-76720377210250383252010-03-03T16:58:15.636-06:002010-03-03T16:58:15.636-06:00Congratulations, Molly!
