ahhhh, who saves who?

sheri u look like a book worm…lol…
i do love novels but hate reading…

Wow - great stuff. Are you able to concentrate well to read them fully?

Wow you got me beat…that’s for sure. I’m reading this really swell book about the history of the redwoods right now. I really like non fiction

I can see ā€œPoetryā€ and ā€œLife of Piā€ :slight_smile: I have many books as well and many of them I didn’t even read.
Very curious what else you got there.

Read that one casually too disturbing got most of it though

Books make a lot of work at moving time!

I’m down to just a few books because I had a fire that included smoke damage.

I have a full sized bookshelf dedicated to religious and spiritual books . I bought all of them with all of my money, during a psychotic episode. I was buying around 6-7 books a week and thought that I was going to read all of them. I’ve read about 1/20th total.

I’m glad to meet a fellow reader. I’ve just read ā€œParadise Lostā€ several times, and I’ll probably go through it a couple more. I take my reading in binges. This woman who lived at the assisted living center where I live had a huge collection of good books. She left them with us when she moved. I’ve been adding to this collection with books I’ve bought at the Salvation Army and Goodwill thrift stores. I find good books there in perfect condition that would have cost $23.00 or more at a bookstore. Right now there is a copy of Edith Wharton’s ā€œAge of Innocenceā€ on the shelf in perfect condition at the Goodwill store. It would cost me $1.00 to buy it.

I have a room set aside as a library upstairs, and floor to ceiling bookshelves in my living room and my basement. Used to work at Borders, the discount was great :heart_eyes_cat: When I lived up at the University, pretty much lived at PL.

Books are really my objets d’art in my house.

Wanted to get to it today but got into wild texting and even wilder sex then had stuff with my son.

Will try tomorrow I’m on deck if anyone wants to talk.
