It's a classic comedy of manners and romantic entanglement set in Edwardian. Ada Leverson was a contemporary and friend of Oscar Wilde's. The called her "The Sphinx" and the wittiest woman in England. Very funny. Highly recommended.<br />Love your blog.<br /><a href="http://likeasilhouette.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Just a Silhouette</a>Sweet Pea (formerly Alice)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12434172043667239819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-75969886964756601602011-04-07T18:31:57.873-07:002011-04-07T18:31:57.873-07:00Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry is my ultimate favori...Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry is my ultimate favorite book.

There are so many reasons that I love this (often cliche) frequent favorite, but it's mainly because of the teacher who assigned it. She was incredible.<br />But if you give me a volume of Rilke or Dickinson, my heart will sing. I named my blog for a Dickinson poem and keep the words written in every journal I've kept for the last five years.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653265136506116537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-22182633592707855262011-04-06T19:37:51.023-07:002011-04-06T19:37:51.023-07:00the year of magical thinking + the history of love...the year of magical thinking + the history of love. xoxoJoanna Goddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109285188206811042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-29743740305882879222011-04-06T18:46:34.017-07:002011-04-06T18:46:34.017-07:00Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment because it h...Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment because it had such an impact on me so many years ago.
