"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.)
"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

My CD
For those friends and family who would like a copy of the CD I made for my parents, go here to reimburse for the cost of materials and shipping.
*Please note: I am not selling this CD, as I do not have a legal right to do so. As most of those interested live out-of-state and would find it difficult to provide me the materials to make copies, this is a way to reimburse for the cost.*
Thank you!
