I find myself turning again and again to Twain or Dickens.  Widely read in classic across all ages and genres... it is these two authors that reach out to me from my bookshelves and say, &amp;quot;Please sir, read me once more.&amp;quot;  (Well, they&amp;#39;d say Sir if I was a sir.. which I am not.. but nonetheless)  Yes, I am actually in the middle of another Dickens novel, one I&amp;#39;ve had since high school.  The way I read them has changed over the years, gaining new insights, and falling in love again.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4056227436265818724/4583583252051526205/comments/default/2725533293435862977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4056227436265818724/4583583252051526205/comments/default/2725533293435862977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.mommysmartini.com/2011/02/happy-birthday-charlie-old-boy.html?showComment=1297649449954#c2725533293435862977' title=''/><author><name>Marie:</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05335083484650800122</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05470468877801957511'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0VMFaOsQEcA/TVDtiOquNxI/AAAAAAAAAEA/JYFxLGI6iTM/s220/35daysblogheader.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.mommysmartini.com/2011/02/happy-birthday-charlie-old-boy.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056227436265818724.post-4583583252051526205' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4056227436265818724/posts/default/4583583252051526205' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-798504028'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056227436265818724.post-1006976953317264824</id><published>2011-02-10T09:36:29.179-05:00</published><updated>2011-02-10T09:36:29.179-05:00</updated><title type='text'>He would have made an excellent blogger, eh?
