Books I bought *innocent eyes* -
The Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
The Penguin Debate -
idk why, but ive always only wanted to buy a book if it came from the black or silver paperbacked penguins... I like the format and clarity and the intros are always fantastic- kinda impedes my literary aspirations, doncha think? limiting my view to penguin books only... I will rid myself of this prejudices soon! I hope
