It was such a while since I read my copy that I couldn't find it or remember what i did with it (after I threw it out the window!!) - maybe I gave it away, donated it to charity, lent it someone - so I bought another copy from eBay a week ago. I still haven't read it - once was enough, lol - but I will read it again one day maybe. 8)
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Actually it's not high in my priority list of things to read, I still have umpteen books to read waiting on the shelves, and wanting to improve my French by reading Blyton books in French I suppose it will take quite a lot time until I read it. Time will see...

When it comes to non-fictions, I do not read cover to cover. I dip into the section which I fancy reading at a time. So it may take a while for me to finish reading non-fictions. It always surprises me when people read non-fiction cover to cover, which is good but I do not have a courage and patience to endure non-plot book that way. :D

Learn the history. Do research.

The hypocrisy, double standard, prejudice and bigotry own by some people is so obvious.Shame on them!
