BEACH READING LIST

I find myself at the extremity of a long beach. 
 How gladly does the spirit leap forth, and
suddenly enlarge its sense of being to the full
 extent of the broad, blue, sunny deep! 
 A greeting and a homage to the Sea! 
 I descend over its margin, and dip my hand
into the wave that meets me, and bathe my
brow.  That far-resounding roar is the Ocean's
voice of welcome.  His salt breath brings a
 blessing along with it. 

 ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Foot-prints on the Sea-shore"

Temperatures have been hovering
around the high 80's and a few 90's,
the water is no longer teeth chattering:
It's time:  repack the beach bag
with fresh sunscreen, my sunglasses,
and some fun beach reads.
[just a few old friends and a
few new ones  that I revisit
year after year as I sit on
 the beach with my toes in the
 sand, sun warming my legs, and
 waves crashing on the shore]

My Beach Reading List:
1:: Beach Music
2:: The Memory of Water
3:: Savannah Breeze
4:: Barefoot: A Novel
5:: The Gift of the Sea

What is in your beach bag?

MY CINEMA LIST

"I think cinema, movies, and magic
 have always been closely associated.
 The very earliest people who made film
 were magicians."

~Francis Ford Coppola

I am not a [huge] television watcher,
but I do love a good movie...
pure magic.

I sat down and came up with a list
of my [top] ten movies to watch at
least once in a life time ...if not
a dozen [or more].

[This list does not contain holiday
 movies...that's another list for
 another time.].

1.:: GONE WITH THE WIND
2.:: THE PHILADELPHIA STORY
3.::ARSENIC AND OLD LACE
4.:: CASABLANCA
5:: YOURS,MINE AND OURS
6.:: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
7:: LOST HORIZON
8:: THE WIZARD OF OZ
9:: HARVEY
10.:: SABRINA 

What would be on your list?
