For me, Pride and Prejudice has been a constant source of hope, belief, and faith.  Hope that things do fall into pieces. Belief that fairy tales can and do happen even to women who set their standards higher than they ought. Faith in love; that someone will love you for who you are, imperfections and all.

When I learned about Project Gutenberg before, I was ecstatic because it  gave me access to really old books. But what bugged me was that I had to use the desktop or the laptop to read a book. That's really inconvenient for someone like me who likes reading books in the bathroom and in public transportation ( I know it's bad for the eyes but I can't help http://nicabookshelf.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-want-sony-pocket-e-reader.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nica)0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IBLQcYmDYEFm0LlOrgISUOTzc98/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IBLQcYmDYEFm0LlOrgISUOTzc98/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IBLQcYmDYEFm0LlOrgISUOTzc98/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IBLQcYmDYEFm0LlOrgISUOTzc98/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938890822031621679.post-5840187656811086520Sun, 23 May 2010 18:12:00 +00002010-05-23T11:12:07.693-07:00Personal NotesI remember picking up my very first Sweet Valley book at a local wet market's booksale when I was in Grade 4. Since then I have become hooked on reading the point that I forgot my chores. My mom, happy that I was reading like voraciously, patiently reminded me that my books would not go anywhere.  By the time I reached Grade Six, I was secretly reading my mom's Sidney Sheldon books.
