Seen the movie You've got mail? Havent? See it. Probaly one of the greatest love stories of our time.
What does it consist of?
Internet , books and love. Almost three of my favorite things. OH! How could I forget... Thee stars of this most exquisite movie are your favorite Mr. Tom Hanks and thee charming but ditzy Ms. Meg Ryan. Yes , the love couple from Joe versuses the Volcano and Sleepless in Seattle!
Im sure Im saying too much since this movie has been out for I believe for about 10 years? So you have all seen it.
Moving on. It happened to be on sale at walmart in that $5 movie bucket. You know the one Im talking about. Where they shove all the old school movies and you have to dig for them like savages and sometimes there happens to be 5 people looking at one time and its like a competition to who will find the best movie. So after digging through the sands of time Mark and I come out with like some 5 movies.
Thee best being Youve Got Mail.
Next day at home I prepare dinner and the husband asks as always " what would you like to watch?" . This is asked every night because every night we eat dinner with a movie. Well with my choice I choose " Youve got mail".
So I set up dinner on the table and silently wait and he puts the dvd and with eagerness wait till the oh so great DVD menu appears and from there we push "play movie".
What makes me so interested in this movie is .... Internet, books and love.
Watching the movie is as good as reading it . You fall in love not only with the characters but with books and New York City. Since they live there and the antagonists both love the city the movie transforms you into a New Yorker , transforms you into someone who loves to sit in a books store and drink coffee ( which I dont do either ). Anyways you become transformed.
Maybe it is the fact that I am a chick and enjoy that lovey dovey feeling after a movie. But afterwards I turn and stare at my husband and just give him that "look" and what I get in return is being stuffed into his armpit ( the armpit hug ) . So I pull back and and give the "umph" .
Then Ping! Idea! How about we go to Barnes and Noble and buy a classic ( in the movie meg ryans character favorite book is pride and prejudice ). I thought the idea was awesome. Read some classic and broaden my view of things.
So we make the trip to B&N and walk in the door and what happens to be in front of us on a table with a big sign above saying 30% off ? A table full of hardback classics! Now anything with a percent sign and the word "off" seems to grab the attention of my husband , hes obsessed with sales. So without more ado we walk out of B&N with about $180 worth of books. About 30 books! Yes , I know insane.
Jane Eyre
Peter Pan
The Time Machine
The Invisible Man
Those 4 are the books I have read out of the 30, now reading Moby Dick. All classics and all very old. Amazing literature though. Purpose of this blog? Read a classic and enlighten your mind .
How my enlightenment of classic novels came about? 3 words . You've got Mail.
