That line was my signature on here for awhile, love it.
I read the book at least once a year and have done pretty much every year for the last 21 years since I first read it, even though I know the story off by heart, it's still a harrowing and powerful read and still has me gripped in as much that I usually finish it off in one or two sittings. The copy I have was bought for 75p from a second hand bookshop back in 1991 and it's still holding out!
Edit: Just checked out your blog(great BTW), that is the same cover as my copy although mine is the third or fourth edition
