Rachel and I are having a lot of fun listening to Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery on the IPod - which I can now play in my car on my brand-new, early-birthday-present stereo complete with an auxilary Ipod connection! (How's that for a grammatically correct sentence?!) I have been simultaneously reading The Mother-Daughter Book Club and its sequel Much Ado About Anne as a preview for our own Mom-Daughter book club. You guessed it - in Much Ado About Anne the book club is also reading Anne of Green Gables. Here are some of my favorite quotes:
"Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"
"There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting."
"It's so easy to be wicked without knowing it, isn't it?"
"Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?"
I cannot believe that I have never read this book before now. It's so good. I'm lucky to be able to share it with Rachel.
