Madame Bovary

I had heard dreadful things about this book; I thoroughly enjoyed it! Here are some favourites so far:
"and the words 'daughter' and 'mother' were exchanged all day long, by little quiverings of the lips, each one uttering gentle words in a voice trembling with anger."
"and ennui like a spider spun its web in the shadow of the corners of her heart."
"She loved the sea only for the sake of its storms [...]. She wanted to get a personal profit out of things, [...] looking for emotions, not landscapes."

Aaaaahhh, a good book.
