In many ways, The Go-Between is similar to Atonement. A young schoolboy is enlisted as the unwitting messenger in an illicit love affair that unleashes aftershocks that will be felt for years. Throughout, there's this gnawing, pensive feeling of tragedy that you don't fully understand until the moment when you just can't look away. I may have been too young when I read this at 19, but it's stuck with me ever since.This is a perfect read for anyone who has struggled to make sense of the past, or ever felt at all out of place in time. Oh, and if you want a good adaptation, nothing beats Alan Bates's raw sex appeal as Ted.—Clemmie McFall

"Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life become a beautiful success, in spite of poverty." ~Louisa May Alcott Marmee's Advice in Little Women Oh that I may learn to follow this wise advice. The work is obvious. The play is with my children and by myself. With my children, I want to play more games read aloud more, and do more artsy craftsy things. By myself, I want to study my Bible more, sew more, scrapbook more, and write more this year. I think I may need some time to pull away and really think about how I can make these things happen this year. Blessings, Laura
