Current Goal

As it travels from cache to cache, please describe your favorite piece of literature in your log entry, perhaps even including a quotation from that novel. Photos of the TB with your favorite book on your bookshelf would be pleasingly felicitous.

About This Item

Austen Aficionado

Austen Aficionado is a diminutive silver book with one of Jane Austen's quotations inscribed on the reverse side: "One man's way may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best."

As I was making this travel bug, I discovered two Austen quotations that seemed all too familiar in regard to geocaching:


"One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it unless it has all been suffering, nothing but suffering," and

"Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?"

Collected this little bug near the Point No Point Lightstation. Don't really have a 'favourite' book, but I received a copy of 'Angelas Ashes' for Christmas ... enjoyed it so much I had to pick up the sequel 'Tis' as well. Cheers.
