I will have to rectify that situation very soon.<br /><br />I'm not sure I could get through that book, frankly. There are many books I think are important for everyone to read, two being I Captured the Castle and Cold Comfort Farm. Can't think of any non-fiction right off the bat.<br /><br />I'm curious, though, to know what Elizabeth's favorites are.FreshHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051170717740487431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-12047172874626397882011-02-07T09:09:26.116-05:002011-02-07T09:09:26.116-05:00I don't have any one book I think everyone sho...I don't have any one book I think everyone should read.
