And I'm not disappointed. <br /><br />You guys have a place of substance over here.<br /><br />And you are so right. How much the books I have read have shaped the 'who' of me is immeasurable.

In fact, I have a few on my bookshelf that I ordered recently and I'm saving them for a rainy weekend to enjoy after I'm finished with my classes. Poirot is my favorite, though I love them all. I love her descriptions and I love that she can carry me away to whichever setting she uses.
