I subscribe to Candy's Sweet Reminders and although most of the stuff there don't really relate to me anymore (haha), I always look forward to their quotes at the end of the Sweet Reminder. The latest one, I really like. It goes: "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved." - W.J. Bryant
Nice no?

Delayed answers to Friday Five:
1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
I read a lot of books, mostly fiction, and lately, by Jeffrey Archer, Ken Follett and the like. I also read magazines, but now, it's more of Vanity Fair than Cosmo or Preview.
2. What is your favorite novel?
I have a lot! My list includes Jeffrey Archer's "As the Crow Flies", Madeleine L'Engle's "Camilla", AE Cannon's "Amazing Gracie", Amy Tan's "Joy Luck Club" and "The Bonesetter's Daughter", Nicholas Sparks' "The Notebook" and "A Walk to Remember" and so on.
3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
I'm not really into poetry, but I like Christina Rossetti's "Remember."
4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
I have a book list in my journal that has a whole lot of books I want to buy/read whenever I see it in Power Books or Page One. It's quite a lot and I want to build my collection. Unfortunately, I can't afford them all (yet--hay, dreaming!).
5. What are you currently reading?
Still Katharine Graham's "Personal History". I have been reading it for two months already. It's an inspiring read, although I think I have to look up American history for some of the people and events there.
