January 23, 2013 at 3:08 pm

Relating to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, which is studied this semester by CC 202, is today’s analect:

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
