“My life is a reading list.” *

“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”
–C.S. Lewis
I am reading A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton-Porter, about whom I wrote last week. I found it on daughter #1’s bookshelf in her old room here at home. I am finding it quite engaging and not all that dated/old-fashioned. Girls were still girls back in 1909–concerned with what the cool ones were wearing and all that.
What are you reading?
*John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany


I love the painting!!
That chair looks so comfortable!
There are many books from my childhood that I’d probably really enjoy but I don’t think I’d appreciate Stuart Little like I did when I was 7 😉
I can read Charlotte’s Web, though, with 100% the enjoyment of yesteryear…
I regularly reread things like The Secret Garden or The Jungle Book — they’re still awesome!
