Yes.

Yes, I am still reading the circus book. I'm really liking it. I don't have anything for treasure trove. It's a tough subject. I guess I could go with a favorite book, but even that is hard to think of on the spot. Well, it's a little random and I haven't read it in a long time, but I think about it a lot because it has so many good quotes in it, but Le Petit Prince is an amazing book. It's ideal to read in French, but of course not for people who don't speak French. It's just a nice, beautiful little story about a little boy who goes on many adventures and comes across different characters who have varying perspectives on life. Here are a few good quotes from it (you may have heard some of them)

J'aime bien les couchers de soleil. Allons voir un coucher de soleil...
("I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset...")

Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
("Here is my secret. It is very simple: one sees well only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.")

Ce qui embellit le désert, dit le petit prince, c'est qu'il cache un puits quelque part...
("What makes the desert beautiful," says the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well.")

Les enfants seuls savent ce qu'ils cherchent.
("Only children know what they are looking for.")
