George was so coooool. Enid Blyton has stood the test of time. Secret Mountain, anyone? Still a great read. A friend gave me the Mitch Albom book, and I really liked it. I feel no shame about the contents of my bookshelf. I read all kinds, highbrow and low, juvenile and racy, serious and not. The most unlikely books sit cheek to jowl on my shelf.

I’m also a big Paulo Coelho fan and I don’t know if you’ve heard about his blog
http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com
I started as a fan and now I’m collaborating with him and thought that you would like to enter his universe.
Check out the blog, if you want, or subscribe to his newsletter
http://www.warriorofthelight.com/engl/index.html

You’ll see a community of warriors of light sharing ideas, dreams and most importantly following their personal legend.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Wherever you want to see the face of God you will see it.”

See you there and have a great day!
Jorge

I wish I'd read more of them. Helen - I've decided to give up being ashamed. Loads of contemporary writing is just as good as the classics - classics of the future, I guess. Obviously, I HAVE read some classics but, to be honest, they don't fill me with as much joy as more up-to-date stuff. That's my excuse, anyway! Rebecca - pleasure! I really don't mind being a flake at all. I just, erm, don't tell many people... Lane - Catherine Cookson dipped in the contents of a commode has put me off more than ever. Ugh. Can't decide about River Flowing - it's a bit like reading a hippy's blog posts really. I don't think it's going to change my life or anything, sadly. LQS - Mmm, books are treasure aren't they? Flakiness does seem less flaky, the more you learn. I can still be a screaming cynic but it's generally aimed in different directions to normal people. At least we're in the gang together :) Caroline – there’s something inherently fab about Enid Blyton books. I wish I’d read more of them.

Mind you if Enid Blyton is a classic I would reread her (The Famous Five) over and over and over. Love it. And Heidi. Loved that too.
