Feature and Follow Friday #164

11:50 PM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop created to help get to know fellow book bloggers. It's hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee.

Q: If you could only have ONE – one book – for the rest of your life. What would it be?

Only one? That would be torture. I'll say Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. It has a little bit of everything considered relevant to literature and world history and it's around 1,500 pages so it would keep me busy for a long time. Plus it reminds me of the Harriet the Spy sequel I read when I was a kid, The Long Secret, which features it.

If that's considered cheating, then Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Also very long, very entertaining, and contains both wizards and footnotes.

Unknown said...: Hi Jaime, I haven't heard about this book but if it contains wizards then way to go. Cheating isn't allowed. We have to abide by the one book policy law strictly. xD
