"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.)

"Celebrated Passages are Quoted"

Heidi's favorite quotes


"What is it really like to be engaged?" asked Anne curiously. "Well, that all depends on who you're engaged to," answered Diana, with that maddening air of superior wisdom always assumed by those who are engaged over those who are not."— L.M. Montgomery

One Good Thing Come to an End. Next?

Sorry about the hiatus. But Summer Reading has ended at last! (And am I ever taking the toll from it! But was a splendid summer it has been.)

So I'm up for moving on to another book to discuss in the Austen Book Club.

I still have the list from the previous poll, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Let's make it "Eight Cousins" or "Rose in Bloom." :)

I'm for it. I'll finish the first this evening and I'm sure I'll finish the second by the end of the week. How about we do both? We can even do a little comparison and stuff between the two.

Sounds good to do both. I'm just sorry you couldn't read them earlier so you could adore Rose the way I do. But I'm glad you're enjoying them anyway.
