Question for Book Lovers on the Flist

Other than a quick trip to the market and a used bookstore, today was a lazy sort of day. I finished I Capture the Castle, and I absolutely loved it beyond the telling. I'd write more about it right now, but whenever I finish a novel I really enjoy, I tend to gush and make no sense whatsoever. So, I'm just going to recommend it to anyone with a similar taste in novels. It absolutely broke my heart and then put it back together again. A little piece is still missing, but that's what makes me love the book so much. Actually, I want to shove this book in the face of some contemporary authors (::cough::Smeyer::cough::) as an example of what sort of book a girl should read to give her a proper (and gorgeous) view of first love. But, whatever, we're all about that 'soul mates 4ever' now, right?
