If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary;

new, universal, and more liberal laws
will begin to establish themselves around and within him;
or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor
in a more liberal sense,
and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
In proportion as he simplifies his life,
the laws of the universe will appear less complex,
and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty,
nor weakness weakness.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

- Henry David Thoreau

Oh, and I would be interested in 'False Dawn' if you decide to list it :)

Hi Carly!
:) Do keep me in the loop if you do decide to put those books (Four Queens, The Unruly Queen, Botany of Desire, The Planets) up on Bookmooch! I have plenty to read, so there's no rush, just whenever you gt around to things!

Crly,
You are really taking the challenge seriously. Not taking credit for any of your previously read biographies -- I applaud you!

WOW!
Looks like you have read more presidents than anyone so far.
Don't forget to put a ticker in the ticker thread and show which ones you've finished.
Then I'll update the individual presidential tickers.

Have a great new year and happy reading!

Thanks for the Wodehouse bio. What a great choice. I have just started into it and it is well written. Obviously I enjoy _his_ writing but I had not thought of him as a person, other than as Bertie's standin. It will be interesting to know him in his own right.
