I was inspired by a library from a home on the east coast that I saw in a magazine at the time, and we came up with this concept for our library. Fortunately for me, a book lover, we were able to include bookcases in most of the rooms in the house.Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-44982523226970215752011-07-26T10:47:39.066-07:002011-07-26T10:47:39.066-07:00A marvelous list with a few classics here I'm ...A marvelous list with a few classics here I'm rather embarrassed to admit I haven't read and so many others I could add.

With the exception of Wilkie Collins, which I must remedy, all are favorites. <br /><br />At least once a year, the child in my grabs the LIttle House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and when I want a quick fix about books, 84 Charing Cross Road is always there for me. Howard's End, however, is my favorite for all the same reasons you mention. <br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-40753608554695976092011-07-25T19:38:26.648-07:002011-07-25T19:38:26.648-07:00I loved this post!!!

I really really really am curious about Excellent Women though. The other book that gives me great comfort is The Weekend. Have you read any of Peter Cameron's books? The Weekend is brilliant and beautiful!! Also: thank you so much for your lovely comment today!

Your perfectly written synopses of such well chosen topics are unspeakably quenching and compelling. Your voice is so gracious; your range of knowledge, beyond impressive. <br />Our frequent conversations are a providencial gift to me.
