To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful. -- Gaston Bachelard

What beautiful things have you read lately?  After reading this quote, I immediately thought of Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind.  That book was a gorgeous confession of love for stories and books.  Now I really want to grab the other two books in the series hoping that they will be just as beautiful.  Go check it out!
