I have one on my reading table at all times, and always carry one in my purse. It sure beats setting around with nothing to do and the I'm bored, what can we do, theme. I keep very few books after I read them, I either donate them to the library, or sell them to a second-hand bookstore. but, nevertheless, I still have many books on my shelves.

Weirdos are we! I am convinced though, that if some of these people knew a book blogger, and had them pushing books on them, they might see the light.

But in the outside world it still surprises me that people don't read like "us"...They really have no clue what they're missing. With the recent influx of movies from books people are surprised that I've read the book. Many of them think the book came out because of the movie.

I was aghast (but also happy for her, since this is a record). <br /><br />Completely understand about people (repairmen, etc.) commenting on all the books. We have piles all over the place, and we are also lucky enough to have a cleaning service once a month. They're usually different people each time, and they always comment on all the books. ("Are all these yours?" as if I run a book babysitting service.)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226691769768760275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-8660325566845372912010-07-19T19:19:49.260-04:002010-07-19T19:19:49.260-04:00So sad for them is right.

It is sad. I hear people almost bragging about only having read 1 book in a year. Very sad indeed.<br /><br />And never ever drop a match in your house.
