Loved this in regards to Monet:

"...his mind simply a conduit to move color from his eye to the canvas...Monet had trained himself to be a machine for the harvest of color."

There is something so lovely, yet so sad about that line. I know it may or may not be true (I have never read anything about Monet) but there is something sad about the possibility of not truly taking in the world so beautifully portrayed.

How I love Christopher Moore!

Another quote that made me giggle:

"then she passed the tape measure about her waist. Twenty inches! She groaned aloud. That was what having babies did to your figure."

Babies! I don't think I have had a twenty inch waist since ninth grade. I would kill to have a twenty inch waist.

This made me laugh:

"The mantle of spinsterhood was definitely on her shoulders now. She was 25 and looked it, and so there was no longer any need for her to try to be attractive."

While still interesting, I am getting a little bored with the pages and pages of battle descriptions.

Super interesting and we haven't even gone to war yet.

I am 34% done...it keeps asking for page update even though it is the Kindle edition. Weird.
Anyway, I kind of want to slap Scarlett, but am enjoying the book.
