Fantastic Literature Quotes and beyond,
By stolpman@siu.edu (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunbeams: A Book of Quotations (Paperback)
I LOVE this book. It is not compiled by subject so I can read right through it and not only hear about subjects beginning with 3 lettters of the alphabet. The quotes are widely varied and come from fantastic, well known books as well as books I have later been prompted to read. I can not recommend this book enough. The quotes are thoughtful and intriguing. If you enjoy quote books, I can not imagine a better choice.

One of the best,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sunbeams: A Book of Quotations (Paperback)
I've been reading and collecting books of quotations since I was about 13, and this is one of the best I've found. The quotes aren't arranged by category, so every one comes as a pleasant surprise. And although the book title would make you think this is merely another collection of "positive" quotations, that isn't true. There's something for whatever mood you're in. I can't say enough good things about this book.

Worn to Shreds,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunbeams: A Book of Quotations (Paperback)
I haven't read it but am replacing my brother's copy which is literally falling apart from use. Since he is an aficionado of quote books, and this is his favorite of 30 years, that should be some kind of recommendation.
