Anne of Green Gables

When I started this book, I was so sure that I was going to be bored to some degree as classics are not my favorite, but I loved Anne with an e. Her babbling reminded me so much of how I was as a kid. So many questions, incessant talking about everything, though I didn't use large words, declare everything in terms of romantic and unromantic, and wasn't half as charming, but I related nevertheless. The importance of puffed sleeves reminded me so strongly of my burning desire for flared bellbottom pants at the age of 9. I loved Matthew's instant attachment to her, I loved Marilla's slow burn love for her. I just loved this book and I wish I had read it sooner.
