Books as my friends.

With the reminder of a dear friend, I am obliged to post a list of books I recommend anyone to read:

*for dogs lovers: 

1) White Fang by Jack London

2) The call of the wild by Jack London

These are absolute classics for anyone that loves dogs. It describes perfectly the loyalty of these wonderful creatures while also making us the readers aware of how powerful a bond between man and dog is. 

*for people who wish to get a glimpse of what french culture is like:

1) A year in Provence by Peter Mayle

2) Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle
3) French women don't get fat by Mireille Guiliano

4) French women for all seasons by Mireille Guiliano
5) A lunch in Paris by Elizabeth Bard 
6) The sweet life in Paris by David Lebovitz

Last I thought I'd share a few quotes about books:

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend."
― Groucho Marx

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.” 
― Paul Sweeney

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” 
― Ernest Hemingway

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” 
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice


“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.” 
― Gustave Flaubert

“I cannot live without books.”

“but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.” 
― Jane Austen
