Hello

It's been a while, I know, but I thought I would share a few lines from one of my favorite books. I don't usually enjoy entertainment of the scary variety but Donna Tartt's books are so engrossing and well written that they easily made it into my top favorite books of all time.

From The Secret History:
"I suppose there is a certain crucial interval in everyone's life when character is fixed forever; for me it was that first fall term I spent at Hampden. So many things remain with me from that time, even now: those preferences in clothes and books and even food-acquired then, and largely, I must admit, in adolescent emulation of the rest of the Greek class-have stayed with me through the years." -pg.84

See? Insightful stuff, right?
