Books it was the part of my childhood that I remember that which I cherish as much as a boy might have chosen Treasure Island or Moby Dick which I read, of course, tomboy that I am O I read Beautiful Joe and Black Beauty for surely how could I not read about animals? I so wanted to be a veterinarian but it was Little Women that kept me as I am and I recall being known as akin to a horse which of course I thought well I am a Sagittarian so it made sense but then I remember Jo was likened to a horse and that made the comment even better I was very little, too little to read, some said but we started with comics in the Sunday paper which led to comic books and at three I was reading alone; Uncle Scrooge was very rich but his nephews always taught him something and of course Superman was my hero… books are in every room of my house…yes, even that room too… magazines and cook books rich and poor books books from garage sales and second hand stores antique and new for young and old how-to and do-it-yourself they stack well and sit on shelves never do I open a book that I don't caress the pages for someone had a visit by sages you can smell the print of the ages books… I treasure them I'll never read them all, but I'll be happy… trying… |

I couldn't agree more. I was a voracious reader as a youngster and it has helped me greatly though life...it is, unfortunately, a hobby that the computer age has damaged greatly.....ah, progress .... |

Yes, sometimes we all fall under the entrancement of immediate gratification...but you'll be proud to know I've got three books under my thumb now...A Gesture Life by Chang-rae Lee is quite a quiet, interesting read... [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 02-20-2001).] |
