I'm quite envious as my own month's reading was rather slow as I get closer and closer to my maternity leave. <br /><br />I love A Sentimental Education, one of my absolute favorites.

To me it has the artistic perfection of "Madame Bovary" and edifies us tremendously about France in the 1840s-it really makes you wish you could eat some of the meals described in the book-Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-19202799830578018222009-09-03T06:54:18.571+08:002009-09-03T06:54:18.571+08:00Love the way you described your August!

Isn't she great--you wouldn't think James would get into a child's head in that way, but he was positively brilliant. Must redress the gaps in my "Sentimental Education" among other books mentioned. Great post--thank you.dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-17065805410921845752009-09-03T06:49:27.317+08:002009-09-03T06:49:27.317+08:00Mel, you did have a great reading month.
