"Few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a place in our memory, to which, sooner or later - no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget, we will return."
~ The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon ~
Well there's a few that have really stuck with me, and to which I return. The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge is one. I can still almost see the words in front of me. Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier is another. I have no idea why these books stick. I guess they were among the first books to find their way into my heart. What are yours?
