That's not a bad hobby.

Don't you just have to love someone like that? One of the many reasons I am a fan of this guy.

I love to be around people who love to read, and a bookstore is a great place to find folks like that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just, Deb? I have met the loveliest people in book shops. Once, I talked to this lady about books for ages, hubby and children were also looking for books and when I finally stopped talking, my sons asked me who that was and I said I didn't know. They couldn't believe that I could talk to a complete stranger that long. I can.
DeleteI’m a smeller of books but not a marker-upper of books.
ReplyDeleteSame her, Lectrice. If I have to write something down, I use those little post-it notes.
DeleteLove that last one! Especially "be a book". :D
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny thought but I really like it. Thanks, Lark.
DeleteWhat a good bunch of quotes. I can't say that I'm usually a marker-upper of books, but I've been known to drag out a post-it or two when needed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christopher. I think most of us don't like to harm our books but I use post-its a lot.
