congratulations to Rapaire & the others whose books have been hidden, forbidden, boxed, stored & now are free.

I have too many other things on shelves to have as many books as I would like, but I do have 2 x 6' by 5' shelves, a 3' by 2' & a 2' by 2'. But I also am a member of 2 local librares & each allows me to borrow 10 books, so as I can obviously read 20 books at once, I do!

20 years ago I had a friend with a pretty display shelving unit which contained about 12" of books, half were her cookbooks, the rest were books I had bought her children. None of their numerous relatives bought books, just toys, and their parents weren't readers either. Poor little buggers, I wonder if they read now?

Before I logged on tonight I read a book - it only had 226 pages so I was able to finish it between lunch when I got it from the library & 10.50pm. It's the 4th in a series & I read the other 3 on Saturday & have 2 more to read. And naturally I want to own 'em all.

I really must buy a lottery ticket so I can buy a house & have a LIBRARY! & I would proudly tell all the neighbours I have one.
