I've rescued from garbage trucks Ovid, Ouida, Maupassant, DH Lawrence, Maugham, Yogananda...which will have to be pryed from my cold, dead, hands someday. If I had my way, I'd read eighteen hours a day. Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure of dating a femme who "smelled of the lamp" of midnight oil.

Fabrics and books for me! I often look through the local charity shops for books....the same when the Library has a sale on. Car boot sales, Fetes, anywhere that is likely to sell books. Sadly though, many books in these places are badly damaged and not worth spending the 25p on them!

I use the Library a lot and if I like a book, I'll buy it from Waterstone's or Amazon. With travelling so much and losing books when moving, I've kept my book collection down to a minimum. Once I settle down somewhere that I know will be permanent, then I'll re-start my book collection again.

Kindle...my friend...kindle. I have transitioned completely and, although wondering if I'd miss the feel of a book in my hands, find that I don't at all. The beauty of it is that I can enjoy all the books I want...a new one anytime I want...carry 3,000 of them in my purse....and all with no books to dust or walls of bookshelves.

Love it...

I've been known to walk into a book store and cry....tears of happiness, as I didn't know where to begin.

I've been known to buy a book simply by what it felt like in my hands. Most times, the book touched my heart in some way.

I love to travel..........and two of my best memories are The Tattered Cover in Denver and Powel's in Portland....I don't remember much else about Denver and Portland.

There is just something about the smell of a book store that makes me drunk with happiness.

There are books/book cases in almost every room in my home. I need more of both.......

Aside from my friend persiiiiiiiiiiii - Powel's is the best thing in Oregon. I got to go there for the first time earlier this year and it was heaven. I think persi and I spent 2 hours in the queer and feminist sections alone. And then there were the cookbooks!! I didn't even make it to the other sections I was exhausted.

Just don't get me started on cookbooks! I read them TWICE before I make any of the recipes from them....I'm very particular about the knowledge of the Chef writing the book, especially when it's Italian and French cookbooks.

Nah! I reckon it'll be years (or another lifetime) before I make the complete transition to eReaders....I'm still trying to get the hang of my Android phone and so far, I'm failing spectacularly, especially when I cut people off trying to answer it! LOL!

Thank you for the gentle encouragement my friend, but, for now, I'll stay antiquated, lol!
