What Wind Blows You Here?
Charles Dickens was a rich observer of life, people and places.
I love good books.
“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it.”
Quotation by J.D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye

“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”
- Raymond Chandler
I love good books, too.
Keep up the great work Sera, it will pay off, I am pretty sure about that

I like semi-good books (Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, J.R.R.Tolkein, etc.), the really good books bore me to tears. I like good quote better than anything. My current favorite is by the famous Italian race-car driver Mario Andretti: “If everything is under control, you’re not going fast enough.”
Cheers.
