About the Book:
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

Jut finished book #5. I started last night. I couldn’t help it. It’s amazing how our brains manage to take in that much information so quickly.

Great! I’ll try to continue getting these posted by 12:00 midnight in case you and others want to get started early. That way you can get some reading done at night. And if you don’t finish the book at night, you can always continue the next day!
