And the invention of the e-reader is the best thing to come along in my lifetime. (Electronically speaking)<br />Finish a book? No problem. Just download another one right there from home.

How was that possible? We were all home, just puttering around the house. My husband had let our little boy hammer and saw on a household project, and I had let him stack rubbermaid dishes and put them away, and we had hosed down the driveway together and swept the porch...and suddenly he was gone. We looked all through the yard, the neighbors' yards, most of the house -- and finally found him on his bed, surrounded by every one of his Dr. Seuss books. When we opened his door, he sighed and said, "Guys, I just need a break. I'm gonna read now, ok?"<br /><br />OK.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532225334730948057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269990339302416599.post-38562069037638911422011-09-28T07:10:16.081-04:002011-09-28T07:10:16.081-04:00Loved this, since I feel exactly the same way abou...Loved this, since I feel exactly the same way about books...they change me, they have made me what I am.

I was in the hospital for 3 months and my mom bought me several Barbara Cartland books. My taste in books has drastically changed (it's now Stephen King and Dean Koontz) but I still love to read. As a matter of fact, I'm in bed with 2 books right now.So. Cal.

I love it, and carry it with me everywhere. And my favorite place to relax is a book store.

My paternal grandmother gave that to me; I have passed it on to one of my sons, but not so much to the other.

I think I have just spent too much time with actual books to ever love the thing but I respect its necessity in the world. I find it cold and I am constantly trying to turn the page instead of hitting the button. Drives me crazy!<br /><br />I know the book will someday disappear I just hope I am not alive to see it.brokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.com
