"To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life." W. Somerset Maugham. So so true!

Wow!

If you have some favorites, I hope you'll post them too!

"She was too fond of books, and it had turned her brain." Louisa May Alcott

I love it! Guilty as charged.

Virginia Woolf believed when women who read too much arrived at the Pearly Gates, the Almighty told St. Peter: "Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading."

That's depressing.

I didn't take it that way. It made me smile - women who read are already in heaven.

"Oh gentle reader; You would find a tale in everything." I grew to love Wordsworth's poems when we toured The Lake District.

That's funny, so did I. When I went there with my family after my freshman year of college. I'll never forget how beautiful Grasmere was!

The whole area is spectacular! It's easy to see why Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter chose to live there. Just thinking about the Lake District makes one feel calm and serene.
