The week flew by. So did my resolve to post on this blog every day. However, today I finally opened "The Thirteenth Tale" and now I can't put it down!! It has already provided me with a quote for Tuesday and a word for Wednesday.
A quote:
"Politeness. Now there's a poor man's virtue if there ever was one. What's so admirable about inoffensiveness, I should like to know. After all it's easily achieved. One needs no particular talent to be polite. On the contrary, being nice is what's left after you've failed at everything else." ~Vida Winter in The Thirteen Tale
(I disagree with her. Of course, I come from a poor family........)
And, a wordie:
amanuesis: (I had never, ever seen this word before in my life) pl. a·man·u·en·ses (-sz) KEY
One who is employed to take dictation or to copy manuscript.
Top 100 Thursday? I am giving up "Where Angels Fear to Tread". Almost done but have to return the book tomorrow. It's already overdue.
