Unlike most Anne-fans, I wasn't particularly exposed to Anne of Green Gables until I was 22. Well, I do vaguely remember a day during standardized testing week when I was 13 in which we watched pieces of the 1985 Anne of Green Gables. The only thing I remember distinctly was Anne breaking her slate over Gilbert's head.
When I was 22, though, I had a terrible data entry job that was paying for grad school. We were allowed to have one headphone in and listen to whatever we pleased so long as we got our work done. For some perverse reason known only to God, listening to music makes time pass more slowly for me. Stories, on the other hand, makes time soar as if on eagles' wings. So I somehow took a notion to listen to an Anne of Green Gables audiobook from Librivox.org, and I was hooked.
Over the years I've stumbled across different Anne related things. This is my endeavor to catalog them, and find something to do with my extra Anne energy.
Hmm, cool. I've only known people who read Anne as a child, but, then, I only know two such people personally XD Do you think you experience would have been different had you read the book when you were 13?
