I should remember that stable the next time the question about "favorite places in literature" comes up.Lauriehttp://sixboxesofbooks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-4651850938810070642009-11-18T17:55:31.814-05:002009-11-18T17:55:31.814-05:00Wow!

You certainly must keep them all, although I sympathize on the lack of space issue.skirmishofwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031418191113154505noreply@blogger.com
