A Book on a Shelf
Books are funny. We packed up the office/library today. I did find a couple to add to my stack of to-be-read books but then again I'm always in a conundrum. What do books do, they just sit on a shelf...waiting to be read or read once, I'll give you that. But don't you wish you could pass them along and others could keep reading them, I guess that's why they came up with libraries. Anyway after saying how awful books are because they just sit on a shelf I was pulling down kids books and so excited to have them! There were Berenstein Bears, Peanuts, classics, and Silly Songs for Kids! I was in another world of fun and soon realized why books sit on shelves-so you can come back each time and enter that wonderful world of adventure. My mom loved to read to me when I was growing up and now I can't wait to read to future students/kids. So what do you think about books sitting on shelves?

I love books. I've ended up in Barnes and Noble twice this week and I always realize how many more books I need to read and some I should just have as a 'historian'. Just now I have about 10 books I got from the library to read over break... some I probably won't get to, which is a shame because they all look good.
josh and i have taken to buying multiples of books we really like so that we can loan out more than one at a time or let people keep them. i love having books on a shelf (buying as well as borrowing) so that we can share them with other people. I love the memories they hold just by looking at the spine, or picking them up.
book stores are dangerous for me because i just want to read lots and lots of them :) alli that's a good idea to buy extras and then when people borrow they can keep, clever!
