The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.

-- Carolyn Wells, (Jun 18 1869-1942), US author; She wrote over 170 mysteries, nonsense tales and children's books.
