Goethe

Firstly lets sort out the pronunciation - think Chas & Dave song Gertcha and take out the 'ch' sound - there you have it!
Goethe was an 18th Century writer and artist who wrote a play about Faust. Two hundred years before this Christopher Marlowe wrote Doctor Faustus (also based on the Faust legend) and this play forms part of the study. Poetic licence allows me to use Goethe as it simply provides the alliteration and sounds better than Marlowe, Gravy and Guitars! Goethe posts relate to my studies.

Guitars

Where to begin! Guitars and associated paraphernalia (amps, speakers, black boxes with flashy lights etc) have been part of my life for 25 years. I fought them once, some years ago. Quite rightly I lost the battle. I grew up and learned to respect them and dare I say love them! My husband couldn't live without them and therefore they belong in this house. Before he claps his hands and logs on to ebay let's remind ourselves that these things are everywhere. If there is a space on the floor - it gets filled, a space on the table - it gets filled, a space on the sofa - yes, it gets filled. Guitar posts are my frequent forays into insanity.

\ Life After Life\

\ If Goodreads would allow I'd give this a 4.5. I can appreciate the skill of Kate Atkinson's writing and this was a potentially confusing plot-line but as others have stated she pulled it off. As for many other readers, the details of...\

\ Pride and Prejudice\

\ by Jane Austen\

\ I can't believe i have gone all these years without reading this book. I could barely put it down even though I knew what was going to happen. Witty, intelligent, scandalous, romantic - I didn't want it to end.\
