"And to this purpose"

"If people like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trouble in filling great volumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would willingly ever look into, to be labouring only for the torment of little boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate; and though I know it is all very right and necessary, I have often wondered at the person's courage that could sit down on purpose to do it." (In other words: rambling analyses, opinions, ideas, views, and comments from an English major, Essay/paper-writing enthusiastic, Austen-loving Master Librarian on, well, Jane Austen...and a whole lot of other things, too.)

On Down to America

Well, I had a marvelous time on Mistawis Island up back in Canadian country. I hope you all did, too. And answering a few questions at a time was perfect! Time-wise, comment-wise, and simply fun-wise.

So, we're going to be off on to our next destination. I was struggling to think of where to go, as all of my favorite fiction books in my collection are no longer where I reside. Not that I can't easily find a copy at work, but just having them looking at me from the bookshelves at home.... Oh well.

Our next book will be....
