Ok, I have to blog about my latest book craze. I've been reading the novels of Philippa Gregory about kings and queens of England and I can't get enough! I am now reading "British History for Dummies" or something like that. I can't remember the title. It's a fast and funny read even though the book is huge. I've always been impressed (or obsessed) with all things English since going to the Texas Renaissance Festival in High School. When my brother was stationed in England and we got to go see him, I was just so excited!! It was a dream becoming a reality. I'll always remember that trip in 2000. And I've become a fan of Showtime's The Tudors. It's really good and really bawdy. I mostly like the settings and costumes. I'm so interested in the royal families. I used to follow the life of Princess Diana until her death in 1997. Now and then I'll read some news about the present royal family but I'd rather read about past kings and queens of England.
I'd like to return to England and spend more time there visiting places like Stone Henge and ancient castles. Oh which reminds me, I've got to see the latest Robin Hood movie that's out now. I really like that literary character and his stories. I think the best Robin Hood movie was the one with Peter Bergin and Uma Thurman. Can't forget Men in Tights either!! "We're men, we're men in tights! Always en guard defending the people's rights."
