Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA.

Theme Thursday: Love
Hosted by Reading Between the Pages
A brand-new meme brought to my attention by Freda's Voice.
RULES:
* A theme will be posted each week (on Thursdays)
* Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading
* Post it and don’t forget to mention the author and the title of the book
* Since we may take a few days to finish a book, this event is open for one whole week
This week's theme, appropriately, is LOVE.
Here's my snippet from Something New by P. G. Wodehouse (p 85-6):
In every man's life there is generally one moment to which in later years he can look back and say, "In this moment I fell in love." Such a moment came to Ashe now....In the almost incredibly brief time which it took the small but sturdy porter to roll a milk-can across the platform and bump it with a clang against other milk-cans similarly treated a moment before, Ashe fell in love.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
beautiful! I never heard of this book but I think I'm going to search for it on amazon haha
ReplyDeleteMilk cans and Love... Hmm, an interesting combination. Good Theme Thursday Post you have here Bev.

I haven't read P G W for years - it's probably time I did. Wonderful quote.

I've still got your review for this one up in a tab, awaiting a vacancy in my library holds account. :) And can I just say that I hope for another moment like that in my life again someday?
