Used part of my birthday money and bought Modern Library paperback copies of 'Jane Eyre' (my very favorite book of all time) and 'Persuasion'.  That publisher puts out such pretty books---nice paper, and readable type.  So collectible.  Began reading Jane again last night, and it was such a pleasure, especially with me being such a fiction glutton.  Sometimes I need a break from reviewing new books, and have an urge to get into the old books.  It's refreshing.

Not much going on in these parts.  Gary's shop is still in slow-down mode, and I'll admit it's frustrating.
