A tiny selection from the box |
I'll have at least one rival though: Jack, the bookivore.
"It's really good you got these," he said last night, as he pulled his nose out of Robin Hood.
So here they are, taking up one of Jack's bookshelves. There are two stories per book, and the back cover of one is the front cover of the other, if you know what I mean. While you read one story, its partner is upside down.
I'm going to start with Little Women. I've heard it mentioned a thousand times and never read it. And then I'll move on to a bit of the great Mark Twain. His quotes always make me stop, think and admire. Here's a couple:
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
