Santa Claus: Friend of Jane

Filed under: F.O.J. (Friends of Jane) — Mags @ 1:06 pm

Yes, Virginia! If you see it in the Sun(-Times), it must be true!

The last good book you read: I got a kick out of Bill Clinton’s book. It’s like the world’s longest letter to me. “Sure, I was naughty, but really I’m nice. OK, I was naughty again, but come on, look at all the nice things I did.” I started reading it this summer and I really hope to finish it someday. I liked that Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson. Just gripping stuff and that guy can just flat-out write. But you know, I’m partial to the classics — Dickens, Twain, Jane Austen, Judith Krantz, Dr. Seuss.

Judith Krantz, eh? Well, we guess it can be a long summer at the North Pole–all that daylight, you know–so beach reading is essential.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Festivus, whatever you celebrate–have a great holiday!

Former First Lady: Friend of Jane

Filed under: F.O.J. (Friends of Jane) — Julie B. @ 10:49 am

The Houston Chronicle reports that Literary Advance of Houston is planning an auction January 27, which will feature the favorite books of 335 public figures, each one signed by that person. Former First Lady, Barbara Bush, chose Pride and Prejudice as her favorite.

Perhaps she identifies with Elizabeth, as both women are said to be mixtures of sweetness and archness.
