Is there a book I'm looking forward to starting...
So many! I would love to read David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and/or Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

Favorite quotes:

  • Wouldn't it be nice if people purred as charmingly as cats when they are hungry? Half the quarrels in the world would never take place. (Beverly Cleary, Sister of the Bride)
  • “It is not every one,” said Elinor, “who has your passion for dead leaves.” “No; my feelings are not often shared, not often understood. But sometimes they are.” (Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility)
