Sipping Golden Monkey, eating cashews, almonds, and pistachios, and processing the Freshman Declaration of Major forms (so far, Illustration seems to be “winning” :) The smooth, honeyed tea, salty, buttery nuts, and my laughing over how the students manage to put a creative spin on even the most boring administrative form is making for a most enjoyable morning!
Also! I wanted to show you my guest post over at the Villette Read-a-long! It’s about what tea I think each character is :)

If you like to read, I highly rec this blog! I’ve had so much fun and enlightenment in the read-a-long so far, and Wallace reads so many good books that wind up on my to-read list :)

Jacqueline, I greatly enjoyed your look at the characters in “Villette” through a tea-stained lens. I’d probably enjoy it even more if I read the book!:)
Thanks a lot … I don’t believe I’ll ever be able to read a book in the same way again! I’m already on page 885 of “Coming Home” by Rosamunde Pilcher … now I’ve got to backtrack! :)
Lovely idea and post. I enjoyed the back and forth in the comments almost as much. and yours about the author addressing the reader. I read the book ages ago.
Thank you, chrine!
I’ve been thinking a lot about Bronte this morning, as I just saw the new Jane Eyre last night. I was disappointed: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/cmctci
…but then I am a fanatical Bronte worshipper ;)

I have not seen yet. But planning on it. I am also a major Bronte fan, have been since I was a girl. I love how a lot of us tea drinkers are also readers. =) And enjoy seeing the topics cross in posts.
