... another gold piece in your collection..
I love those ragged pages and generous margins....
Listen, I do not want to die!! How on Earth I will have enough time to read all this beautiful books?!! Ill need 24 lives at least to come closer to one tiny part of all of the published beauty! :O)
This is gorgeous!Thanks!
SO
then as now sort-of
and
what's "the book in the dock"
"twould be a gas-and-a-giggle-and-a-hoot
to read THAT book along with this one...
maybe a Mark Twain auto-fiction?
AH HAAAAAAA!
it was ZOLA! & that Bohemian 'rif-raf" !
Books that speak to us. This one, it seems, has a little hidden message. Right side, Page 115, Line 18: "I object to the dragging in of other books..." :)
Hmmmr... it apparently wants to bask a bit longer in the newfound joy of having readers discover its pages. "Gareth & Linette, move along now, off to the shelves with you. It's my turn!" it seems to be saying. :)
Aleksandra, that’s about the best argument for immortality that I’ve heard. But twenty-four lives would be a good start!
Ed, I knew Zola wouldn’t sneak by you. You mention the Twain autobiography — I did read in the “blogosphere” that you had picked up a copy. Two of my sons got copies at Christmastime. So maybe I’ll have a crack at eventually. Currently reading Huck Finn, where yesterday, on Page 213, I read the glorious phrase, soul-butter and hogwash. That’ll keep me going for at least a week.
Annie: Jealousy in the stacks? Maybe I should be more careful around here. I was under the impression they were all getting along.
