Indeed!!! I don't trust people who have no books. My greatest accomplishment to date was passing along my love of reading to my 2 daughters and my 3 grandchildren. They're all bookaholics, thank God!

Honestly, the main reason ereaders make me sad is the loss of one of my favorite activities: snooping around the bookshelves in other people's homes. Thumbing through their Kindle just does not provide the same satisfaction.
I just found out he is coming to Tucson in December and putting on a Christmas show. I'm debating shelling out $101 for VIP tickets to meet him. How could you not want to meet the man behind these words of wisdom?!
Hi Maggie, I've seen that somewhere before, and it makes me laugh. I think it's quite true! And I appreciate jenna's comment about kindles. What a loss for all of us, not to see what our friends and acquaintances are reading. I have books piled in every room of my house, on bookshelves, tables, and on the floor, some arranged artfully, but many, just in stacks. Books tell us a lot about a person, and whether they are someone we'd like to know better.
I came here to talk about Kindles too. And to say the same thing Jenna said. It's like what iPods and digital music did to record/tape/cd collections. So sad.
My husband and I noticed tonight on Star Trek that they didn't have Kindles. They had leather bound books. All that technology and they wanted quiet time, with their minds, and a book.
what i thought love was is so much less than what it is

"Her looks fading, the vain Lispector became increasingly reclusive and demanding. Addicted to cigarettes and sleeping pills, she exhibited erratic and sometimes imperious behavior. She would call friends in the middle of the night and flee dinner parties for little apparent reason. She had a reputation for being a liar."-<em>NYT on Clarice Lispector
My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
I'll keep that in mind :)
xoxoxo
That's the best dating advice I ever read.

Sound advice. I love it.
Infuckingdeed.
word verification: hemen. Yes, really.
HA! Ain't that the TRUTH!
Word, my friend. Word.
be careful taking advice from john waters. it sounds good at first but eventually you'll be doing really weird stuff on film.
Great!
