“She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.”
Louisa May Alcott
Oh my goodness this made me laugh! I had never come across it until today and how lucky was I that Thursday Thoughts was pondering books?
If I am to be charged with anything; I would be happy to be charged with being too fond of books and having had my brain turned.
Nevertheless, they remain a lifeline, a world of wonder and intrigue, places to get lost in, lands of discovery and places to turn to for solace and recovery. My head has been turned often by a book and my world has been made clearer; my compassion levels raised, and my heart and mood lifted.
Guilty as charged.
My tattered version of Little Women. Who didn't love Jo when she cut off her hair?

I started laughing reading the quote as the page scrolled up and laughed even more at your first comment. What a world it would be if all females could read and have their heads turned!!!
