Sweet Suzanne Sings Softly

How intriguing is this 35-year-old single woman from Middleton, CT who is my renter this week. She is brave enough to offer you a seat inside her head, inviting you into her most intimate and provocative thoughts.

Many don't do that. They hide behind a glib remark, idle prattling. Suzanne is real. Courageous even when expressing her self-doubts. And was a speed-dater, something I always thought would be hilariously entertaining and somewhat unfruitful endeavor. What a remarkable individual.

Her blog, My Corner of the Web, offers great inspirations for new posts. I looked at her list of favorite books, and there were a few that I have read - Brave New World, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Merrick, 1984, The Tale of a Body thief, Pandora, The Good Earth, Jane Eyre,

To Kill a Mockingbird (yes, Monte, and I read it out loud to my daughter this year..I was supposed to read in AP English and didn't. Question No. 1 on pop quiz - who is Scout? Dorene answer: Family dog.),

Flowers for Algernon, Wuthering Heights; Gone with the Wind, Interview with a Vampire,Exit to Eden, The Witching Hour, Violin, The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned, Lasher, Cry to Heaven, (Had a real Anne Rice thing going for a while)

a few that I was supposed to read - Hundred Years of Solitude; The Sleeping Beauty series (roommate who said I HAD to read them after she finished withdrew her gracious offer), Of Mice and Men

and many that I had seen transformed into film - Alice in Wonderland, A Room with a View, The Hours, White Oleander (adored), Bridget Jones Diary, Hearts in Atlantis, Angela's Ashes, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Needful Things, Hamlet, and Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood.


Stop by and visit Suzanne, she is great.
