The Unabridged Short Stories & Books... of Nathan & Laura's Wedding

Nathan and I paid a visit to the largest used bookstore in Greenville—Mr. K's Used Books—to fill our vision of a book themed wedding. We knew we were looking for classics and books we had read and loved, such as Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Ok maybe that was just me; Nathan was looking at Mark Twain and Charles Dickens.

We bought each of the following books for about five dollars each—not bad for hardbound classics!
  • Pride & Prejudice
  • O Pioneers
  • Doctor Zhivago
  • Selected Stories and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe
  • Uncle Tom's Cabin
  • The Scarlet Pimpernel
  • Wuthering Heights
  • Mutiny on the Bounty
Here's Nathan modeling our books...

Nice. But really, see how all the books are different sizes, shapes, and colors, yet have a cohesive theme? Perfect! Now I just need forty more or so...

    Question: Has Nathan ever read any of those books? I mean, I know he likes to read; I just didn't know how much he was into classics. :) And a thought: If you wanted to borrow some books instead of buying them all, ask Mom. I know we have a lot of books that would fit the theme. But I do know there's something special about starting your own library too. :)
