So glad that you are healed. I too am a lover of books, libraries and book stores. I too was astounded to see separate leaves on trees with my first glasses in 7th grade.

If everything except the very barest minimum of government disappeared tomorrow we would all be much better off.<br /><br />We are readers in this family, in fact, my younger daughter get punished for reading too much sometimes! As in, she will read anytime, anywhere, even when chores and homework need to be done.<br /><br />I feel like this generation of electronic addictions has contributed greatly to the downfall of America's ability to recognize just how controlled we are all becoming. We went to a movie the other night and the entire time there were flashes of light all around the room from people checking their phones, texting, etc. 2 1/2 hours of that--boy it was ANNOYING!Grandma Tillie's Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347610921670487366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-19095587637680296852009-11-14T19:47:10.771-08:002009-11-14T19:47:10.771-08:00Not sure where I fit in.

Reading is such escapism and stress relief. I have to say that I enjoy buying used books that have that softer, loved feel to them.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-38916536123150041322009-11-13T19:28:49.025-08:002009-11-13T19:28:49.025-08:00What I really think is this is a great post.

I loved your description of how you developed your love of reading, and always appreciate suggestions for books to read with information about how the story affected the reader. And your are so right about what an amazing time your grandparents (and mine) lived in.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810126999695733332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-17638782006740452552009-11-13T17:56:27.689-08:002009-11-13T17:56:27.689-08:00i feel the same about books had very simular exper...i feel the same about books had very simular experiences in school with books... and this week got two brand new books... you ready for this...

I hug the old ones I purchase subconsciously, though. My youngest daughter fell asleep holing a cookbook open to her chest when she was four, approximately 11 months after she began reading. There is a story behind that, but it shows that my love of books was passed on eaarly to that child. <br /><br />I, too, remember crying when my oldest got glasses and procalimed that there were stars in the sky. It was hard as a mother to realize she had missed so very much.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349785408418170356noreply@blogger.com
