Anne of Green Gables

For the past several weeks I have been watching "Anne of Green Gables" on BYU television.  The original book was written in 1908 about a girl who lived in Canada.  I think the versions I watched were some or all of those below.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the series and I am sure there are several that have been added on to the original book story line.

Anne of Green Gables film series, a television film series directed by Kevin Sullivan, perhaps the most famous dramatized version of the "Anne" stories.

Then I read "Anne and the Dream House" online and there are several more I can read online anytime for free.
These are some of my favorite quotes from Anne Shirley:

Anne Shirley: My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anne Shirley: This is the most tragical thing that has ever happened to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Mrs. Cadbury: Tell me, what you know about yourself.

Anne Shirley: Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury... but if you let me tell you what I imagine about myself you'd find it a lot more interesting.

Every night I either read a book online or listen to an audio for free.  This is all possible by "Library on the Go" furnished for the Northern California library system.  I can check out three books at a time from Plumas Library and three books at a time from Lassen Library and a many as I want from the other sections that have books always available, like the classics.  It is a wonderful source of books, what a service!  And good reason why I am not buying books lately.
