I finished Wind in the Willows yesterday and started reading A Room with a View for the Monthly Author Reads group. Still listening to Pride and Prejudice, and really enjoying the reread.

Odd double post.

I'm reading a paperback of The Wind in the Willows, to see if I want to buy the Folio version. Sadly, I think it will be a 'no'. I forgot how much I dislike stories in which animals are the main characters, even fanciful ones like these.

friso_geerlings, your library is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. The LE Wind in the Willows is so exquisite and the Surinam Album! Breathtaking!! LesMiserables is right, your photographs show the books in a much more accessible way. Wonderful.

Just made the final payment on my centennial edtion of The Wind in the Willows!!! Now I'm in terrible danger - I could buy Pepys and the LE Moby Dick for just 10 monthly payments of under $150 ea. No! No! No! No!....Well, maybe I should think about it for a few days and then decide...

I am a big Wind in the Willows fan, too!
