[...] Our book club just finished reading this 1960 Elizabeth Goudge jewel and I know exactly how she feels. We’re all kind of wandering, I’m afraid, unwilling to exchange that post-Goudge dreamy sort of happy-sadness for the cares of a new cast of characters with which Maria Edgeworth’s Belinda is doubtless only too eager to supply us.

How delightful! I was just rereading that very Victoria wishing I had a book club. I have tried several times, but cannot seem to find any other ladies that wish to read classics together. This has inspired me to try again.

Hello,

What a lovely post. You make me want to go out right now and grab my friends and my favorite books. Two friends of mine (hi Brenda!) are regular readers of yours, and both forwarded this post to me unbeknownst to the other. Several of the things you mention here, from Goudge’s “Pilgrim’s Inn” to all things English, to tea, make me wish I could sit down to tea with you. I’ll definitely visit your blog often. It’s a lovely world of a place.

What a beautiful post…and blog. I’ve just discovered you through coffeeteaandbooks. You have inspired me to also have a bookclub. Thankyou. I will return often, as it is a beautiful place to visit! Mrs. M

I’m another who’s never been involved in a book club…they always want to read modern books…uck! I’m such a solitary reader that it would take quite extraordinarily kindred spirits for me not to feel an intrusion, but it sounds like you have that!

Incidentally, I loved Agnes Gray. And also found my first comfort in beauty, hand-crafted by others, after 9/11. Some say beauty is truth. I only know that we need it in order to live.

That was fun to read…your literary society sounds absolutely lovely! And it sounds like you all have excellent taste in tea…Yorkshire Gold is some amazing stuff!

I didn’t discover this post until just now…I think that Lanier’s Books’ revamp did something to disconnect it from my Google Reader. It could have just been a random glitch too, but in case it’s not, I thought I’d let you know…

Stacy, unfortunately the shop I wrote of is no longer open. But perhaps this link to the Georgia Antiquarian Booksellers Association will help:

Gorgeous! How I wish I was there with the book club.

I am so glad you are writing here again.
