"I'm starting back through the classics. I loved them all so much in high school, but didn't read through them all. Now that I am not in school, I'm starting over with these recommended classic books. I'll update my review when I finish.

added a quote:
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." — Ralph Waldo Emerson | |

"I read this as a little girl and just really remember loving it. I wish I could be more descriptive why; but I stumbled across this on this site and it was a favorite of mine as a child.

"Love this book; I moved to Beverly Hills when I was 18 in search of some life I thought was waiting there for me. This book reminds me a lot of the women I would encounter in my office building there. A great fun read!
