So many books...so little time!

This is my 8 year old daughter's favorite quote. Even though she has more library books stacked on her shelf than she can read in any given one month period she never fails to bring a pile up to the counter. "Please!!!" she begs. How could I ever say, "No" to that request? More candy? No. Stay up later? No. More book? You betcha!

I came across a new (well, new to me, anyway) quote in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgrald.

"There was so much to read for one thing and so much

fine health to be pulled down out of the

young breath-giving air."

Right now I am reading The Great Gatsby again, and I, like my daughter, have more books on my nightstand than I can get through. But, I can sure have fun trying. So now I'm off to spend a long Saturday afternoon reading.
