just finished JANE EYRE and THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST. Going to dig into some more classic stuff, if the eyes hold out. Need reading glasses all of a sudden! So freaking hot out--can't do anything but stay indoors and read. Might as well be depths of winter.
Another goodie--THE GOLDEN BOOK OF FAIRY TALES, ed. Jane Werner, illustrated by Garth Williams.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
