The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. –Jane Austen

I do agree with Oscar Wilde, I don’t understand people who only read a book once even when they really love it? I read my favourite books over and over again, they are very special old friends. 😀

  So do I. One of my particular favorites, Time Enough for Drums, I’ve read so many times that I can quote passages of it the way some people can quote the Bible. 😀
