Wow, Ruthie. An imposing list! I have to agree with you on the fabulousness of Bronte, Austen, Lewis, Tolkien, Dumas and Hugo (though I haven't read Hunchback, Les Miserables is one of my favorite books).

...I just think of these things, and then I don't feel so bad!

  • Barnes and Noble (and books in general)
  • birthday parties
  • friends
  • fun words (like effervescent and uber)
  • knitting
  • learning languages
  • RUF
  • Scrabble...and other word games
  • skiing
  • sleep-overs
  • swimming
  • tea
  • traveling (not the car part, so much!)
  • weddings
  • writing fantasy stories
