I was a teenager when I read 'Living, Loving and Learning', Leo Buscaglia's insightful, warm and wonderful collection of lectures. This book shaped me and it's still a gift that I joyfully share when the time is right. <br /> <br />“It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.”<br /><br />Leo F.

I might read that one again too--but I didn't keep it, so I must watch for it at Macondo's.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12989740573288200129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-26362836513263276152010-12-19T07:46:52.211-05:002010-12-19T07:46:52.211-05:00marion, remind me to tell you a meet the hobbit st...marion, remind me to tell you a meet the hobbit story sometime..;)<br />sheilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-74791709704008236122010-12-18T20:17:04.876-05:002010-12-18T20:17:04.876-05:00One of my all-time favorite authors is W.

The first time I read it I enjoyed it as a nice, comfortable, easy 'boy grows up in the prairies' novel. The second time I read it, I couldn't believe all the incredible imagery I had missed the first time through. The book has a dark side mixed in with that patented W.O. Mitchell humour. Mitchell was an incredible Canadian and author. I still miss his voice on the radio at special times like Christmas. <br /><br />As an aside, I once met Mitchell in an airport waiting room in Calgary. I introduced myself and told him how much I enjoyed his books. He was incredibly shy, seemed embarrassed, and didn't seem to know what to say. I am still amazed that someone who wrote so well and was so charming and articulate on the radio could be so tongue-tied in person.Carmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686168556846924176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-22304027090668121412010-12-18T16:11:53.119-05:002010-12-18T16:11:53.119-05:00I should have known you'd understand Mel.
Yes...I should have known you'd understand Mel. <br />Yes, I have been to PEI and Anne's home (sort of-- you must get Urquart's book!)<br />Planning lots of RE-reading this holiday. And for that, it's best to own the books.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12989740573288200129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480403878902135681.post-2982886243018458932010-12-18T12:46:29.511-05:002010-12-18T12:46:29.511-05:00Oh Marion ...

...Oh Marion ... I just absolutely loved this blog!!<br />It brought me right back to my childhood, sitting on a branch in my Aunts apple tree, resting my back on the big trunk with my nose in a book or writing.<br />Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorites as is anything L.M. Montgomery. Having been to the island and visiting many of thos magical places they are even more special to me now.<br />As an adult, one of the best books I have recently read is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. You are absolutely right, there are some books that one MUST simply OWN. Every book spine is a memory, cherished, sentimental, magical, profound or heartwarming. Either way, a journey shaping me page by page.<br />Happy Reading!<br />Melsoon2bmrsroachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549151480912445723noreply@blogger.com
