HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL READERS OF BEATTIES BOOK BLOG
I hope you have a happy and relaxing holiday season and that 2009 proves to be a lot better than the doomsayers are suggesting.
To quote the editorial in Spectator Australia (www.spectator.co.uk/australia) (my current favourite magazine) when writing about the international financial woes:
....these problems remain fundamentally superficial. Happiness arises from good relations with family and friends; real despondence emerges only when these fray, not from transient material developments.
And Bookman Beattie says amen to that!
Happy New Year to you Bookman. I look forward to another great year of legitimate literary distractions.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog this year, and nowmy day isn't complete with checking it for the latest bookish news. Hope you keep it up in '09.
Happy New Year Bookman. May it bring lots of fabulous reading and no duds.
