Rereading

In bed with some bug ....

Made it almost all the way throught the winter without getting sick, and now I'm down with something miserable. Pfui.

So I curl up with the cats and read the old dependables, the ones that stay when others go back to Half Price Books. Anna Quindlen (essays and fiction), David McCullough, Wendell Berry (poetry), and Terry Tempest Williams to name a few. Some paperbacks so old the pages are falling out, but back on the shelf they go when I'm done for the pleasure I know they will bring the next time I open them up.

Comfort food for the mind.

Three rules of books

My rule of books:
If you get it out of the library, you don't have to pay for it. (Though I will confess to running amok at Half Price Books from time to time.)

Eli's rule of books: (my son)
If you get it from a book store, you don't have to take it back.

Frouma's rule of books: (local scrabble player)
If you buy it at the library book sale, it's inexpensive and you get to keep it.
