La Nausée

[flemmings]

Now I've finished the Soseki manga, all my current reading books are door-stoppers. So for a day at The Little Girls' I popped a copy of Anne of Ingleside into the backpack. (Picked up a half dozen of the Anne books off the sidewalk last May, figuring you never know when they'll come in handy, and anyway I'm sure I haven't read half of those six.)

Little Girls went out skating with their father for an hour, so I opened my book. Transpires:
a) I *have* read Anne of Ingleside, several times
and
b) the Suck Fairy has been at L.M. Montgomery in a big way. Yuck, blecch, let me out of here.

I've not read any of the Anne books beyond the first, but I keep expecting the Suck Fairy to get at The Blue Castle and it keeps not having done so, so that might hold up better?

Also, if you're in the sort of mood for which L.M. Montgomery is generally useful, I find Maud Hart Lovelace has held up more interestingly for me as an adult while maintaining the things I used to like about Montgomery.

I keep hearing about The Blue Castle, so will give it a try.

Have never even heard of Maud Hart Lovelace; shall google. Thanks.
