I came across The Gracious Girl blog today and enjoyed her post titled, "You are what you read...." I encourage you to pay The Gracious Girl a visit. Jane Austen said, "One who can write a long letter with ease can not write ill." It may also be said that one who reads good books can not write ill. When I read good books (truly good books that have stood the test of time and become part of our collective memory and conversation) I hope that in reading and savoring every word will I enjoy not only elevation of mind but that I will also enjoy the happy side effect of writing just a bit better and having more to contribute to the conversation of letters. Having said that, I shall now return to my book. Jane Eyre awaits my return!

Thanks for the link to (& reminder of) The Gracious Girl. I follow her on Facebook but since I haven't logged in there for awhile would have missed that post.

That's a great quote! I just discovered The Gracious Girl today through a link on the Crane & Co. blog. I'll content myself with being a late arrival.
