I've always wanted to read this one...

My Antonia, by Willa Cather will be the next book I tackle. I've always wanted to read this book but do not own a copy. With my Kindle, I was able to purchase it for free and will begin reading it this evening.

According to the information provided by Amazon.com, My Antonia was first published in 1918 and is essentially the tale of a young girl whose parents have moved to Nebraska to farm the land. The story follows her and an orphaned boy, Jim Burden, who is the narrator of the story. I've heard this is a wonderful romantic novel, and after Penguin Island, I need something a little less in the head and a little more in the heart.
