“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Oooh great list! I am a huge Steve Martin fan (okay, so I also have a huge crush on Steve Martin). I have his novel "An Object of Beauty," and I am so impressed by his writing. He is a modern day Renaissance man, and I love it.

    Is "Autobiography of a Face" by Lucy Grealy? I read Ann Patchett's "Truth and Beauty," which was about her and Grealy's friendship. Lucy sounds like such an interesting person. You'll have to let me know how that book is!
