I only have a paperback version. Perhaps I should visit <BR/>the local Oxfam more often.<BR/>Speaking of paperbacks that is a nice collection of Penguin Classics on the shelf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-87405015401260088192009-03-07T06:01:00.000+00:002009-03-07T06:01:00.000+00:00Steve: Your blog and your sense of humor keep me c...Steve: Your blog and your sense of humor keep me coming back. I really appreciate your simple, thoughtful no frills blog. I started "subscribing" to a whole lot of blogs and found myself overwhelmed with trying to keep up with them all. I started just going back to my old favorites. Your's remains one of my favorites.Thanks for your regular postings.NW Nature Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274110274292106230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-75389585562066143182009-03-06T07:31:00.000+00:002009-03-06T07:31:00.000+00:00Michele,Thanks for introducing me to 'Kindles' - I...Michele,<BR/>Thanks for introducing me to 'Kindles' - I had to look the word up!<BR/><BR/>I've no doubt that they will be very useful in the same way as a reference library is useful, but there can be no subsitite for a book (just as there's no substitute for LPs).<BR/><BR/>Imagine curling up by the fire with a good Kindle.<BR/>Or am I just a Luddite?Kingsdownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127225013640474483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-21139808676471745952009-03-06T05:37:00.000+00:002009-03-06T05:37:00.000+00:00I just know if a Kindle can replace the love of ha...I just know if a Kindle can replace the love of having books.

My own are stashed in so many different rooms, no one would get the real picture of what I like :-) Those mugs on the shelves would be fair game to one of my cats. She unstacks any books sitting like yours...very irritating. I call her "the librarian" when I'm not calling her worse names. The Hudson book looks like a wonderful old book..nice illustrations. He shows the music for the bird songs??Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.com
