I began the day by Consider[ing] the ForkSunday night bookish fun from Karen, via Claire. Painting {Girl Reading, by Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946)} found here.
before breakfasting on A Bitter Truth
and admiring The Anatomist’s Apprentice
On my way to work I saw George Eliot in Love
and walked by The Invisible Woman
to avoid Footsteps in the Dark
but I made sure to stop at Greenery Street
In the office, my boss said, Started Early, Took My Dog
and sent me to research The Forgotten Affairs of Youth
At lunch with Catherine the Great
I noticed Miss Elizabeth Bennet
in The House I Loved
greatly enjoying A Rather Lovely Inheritance
Then on the journey home, I contemplated The Tower, the Zoo and the Tortoise
because I have A Question of Identity
and am drawn to Abdication
Settling down for the evening in The Solitary House
I studied The Confession
by The Optimist’s Daughter
before saying goodnight to My Dear Governess
...the first glance to see how many pages there are, the second to see how it ends, the breathless first reading, the slow lingering over each phrase and each word, the taking possession, the absorbing of them one by one, and finally the choosing of the one that will be carried in one's thoughts all day... -- Edith Wharton
