Some of my favorite people

live only in books:

• Anne Shirley.
• Prue Sarn.
• Tess Durbeyfield.
• Jane Eyre.
• Hester Prynne.
• Sir Percy Blakeney.
• Juliet Ashton.

They are all old friends. (I guess they live in movies too but with the exception that proves the rule -Emma Woodhouse - everyone knows the book is always better.)

But I also love a certain kind of nonfiction. Right now I'm reading a book for book club called Candy Freak, by Steve Almond. It's nonfiction. It's about candy. It is outrageously funny and I highly recommend you get yourself immediately to the nearest bookstore or public library and pick it up.
