Opening Sentence of the Day: Evening Class



There was a time back in 1970 when they would love filling in a questionnaire.

-- Evening Class by Maeve Binchy.

Every now and again I want to fall into a Maeve Binchy novel and live in it.  This mood usually strikes when I am hectic at work or otherwise am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Her novels are dense with details of interesting, but ordinary people overcoming difficulties.  They restore me.

    Bybee: "Comfort food for the brain" is the perfect description!

    Booksnyc: Yes, they relax me. Or,l I guess "refresh me" is better. They are perfect for when I'm feeling harried and harassed.
