I began to read at a ridiculously early age, too. I found Frances Hodgson Burnett in my Grandmother's bookcase, and I still love Rumer Godden (and periodically reread her stuff). When I find an author I love, I collect everything I can find (in paperback - I've still got to feed Himself). So I have shelves of Georgette Heyer, of Mary Stewart, of Rosamonde Pilcher, of T.H. White, of E.M. Forester. <BR/><BR/>Stop...stop. I love to read, 'kay??<BR/><BR/>P.S. Right now I'm rereading "The Egg and I" by Betty MacDonald.

My books came from a library that appeared to spring up out of the Fox River as well. Makes me wonder how many libraries Illinois has along that river - but I'm sure it wasn't the same one.blognuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161713516407124717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-2927019943864659022009-01-06T11:41:00.000-06:002009-01-06T11:41:00.000-06:00I'm an avid reader too.

I only read it once, 10 years ago but it made a huge impression on me. I loved this book because of the message: "do the right thing" and do it because you have respect and honor for someone you love.<BR/><BR/>Amazing book.CaShThoMahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129301440408677792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486020167848564517.post-68847872263082921402009-01-06T10:42:00.000-06:002009-01-06T10:42:00.000-06:00Good answer.
