A new volume on a dusty shelf

Hello everyone. Meredith's the name. An excellent site, this is, and a clever idea. Don't know why I didn't think of joining a literary forum before. Here are some of my favourites...

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Harry Potter (particularly the Chamber of Secrets and the Goblet of Fire)
Sand and Foam, The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Nedra by George Barr McCutcheon
The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley

Anyone read any of these or anything by the same author? I'm also very fond of poetry and I love the work of W.B. Yeats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, Keats, and Shelley.

I enjoy writing, and I've often come up with several ideas, only three of which have made it past the conceptual stage, none of which (I'm sad to say) are anywhere near being completed. But I suppose it's more of a hobby than anything else at the moment. I enjoy it, though. Books are special, aren't they? As Cicero once said, "A house without books is like a body without a soul". :)

Hi, Odyssea, WELCOME! :)
I like that book very much!

"Please--- tame me." "what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible."--- are my fav quotes.
 
lol, i dont mean literally dusty. it seemed a suitable metaphor. especially since, personally, my own bookshelf (which is quite overflowing with books) accumulates more dust than i can keep up with, and im always putting new books on it.
 
I absolutely loved Le petit prince. Did you read it in English or the original French?

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favourites too. I even got my boyfriend liking it. Not that he'd ever admit it to anyone other than me! :rolleyes:
