Pick twenty unread books from your list. This could be five you are dreading/hesitant to read, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice.
Number them from one to twenty.

All criticism is a form of autobiography. That’s the first line from “How Literature Saved My Life.” Every book recommendation says something about the recommender.
So I’m going to strongly urge that you read this book but don’t hold it against me... " Read more of this review » |

“It is a long way to Ireland, Janet, and I am sorry to send my little friend on such weary travels: but if I can't do better, how is it to be helped? Are you anything akin to me, do you think, Jane?"

And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Hi Jane,Thanks for the friending me. I've only recently become a member and still trying to negotiate my way around Goodreads - is it me or is it unnecessarily complicated?
Take care
Martin
Thanks for the comment about Intimations of Austen--so glad you enjoyed my stories! They were truly a labor of love.
It does take a little getting used to, but I love GR and find it the best social networking site, bar none.
Enjoy....
