I have a bit of an overwhelming book situation, but I love it when that happens. I am reading "The Beautiful and Damned", at the same time as "Adolf Hitler", my friend just gave me two great looking baby books, and my husband just bought me "Hard Times" by Dickens. I just read the first paragraph:
"NOW, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!"
And I can't wait to read THIS now, either.
PS Also got a massive folder of reading for my Masters course that I am doing this year, but we wont talk about that.
About Me
- biblion
- Optimistic, disorganised, thoughtful, self-sufficient, undisciplined, absent-minded, uncreative, generous. I hate duets where the couple look at each other. I love peeling babybel cheeses more than eating them. I hate showers but love baths. I let plants die in my house. I bite my nails. I drink too much tea. I avoid having too many friends. I am a very strong swimmer, but am scared of open water. I am missing a toe on my left foot. I like counting and sorting change. I self-teach religiously, and taught myself to understand the stock market, but can't follow a recipe. I like ironing, but hate vacuuming. My favourite season is Spring. I like the beginning, but hate the end of Summer and Winter. I don't like made up names.
