1. It is one of the true joys in life!

I'm trying to read through the large pile of books I already have so I can order more.

7. A reviewer said ... "Don't bother, by far the worse in the entire series"

An entire series??!?!?11?1111!!!!!

[petronius]

15. That was pretty funny - considering that the Amazon list goes up to #15,

I'd say this particular review does a lot of one-handed reading...

[RetroLounge]

19. Is our letter in that one?

Dear Penthouse,

I never thought it would happen to me. I was lost in New Jersey...

:rofl:

9. There's that new book smell, too

It's kind of freaky, but the last book I ordered, before I began actually reading it, for some hours you would of found me fondling and smelling it. lol That wording does sound freaky.

[hisownpetard]

11. That's the one!

It'd be interesting to hear which ones were your favorites, when you're done.

Enjoy.

14. Long time no reply to

and I would have to agree, there is nothing quite like handling a new (or old) book in one's hands after tearing it open after it gets here (finally).

16. I really, really prefer browsing in bookstores.

Ordering books online just isn't the same experience.

I miss being able to just go into a bookstore and browse whenever I wanted. Now I have to plan out when and where and how i'm going to get there, and if it's accessible, and I can only buy as many books as I can balance on my lap the whole way home.

Gone are the days of walking out of bookstores loaded down with two large bags of books in each hand.

17. I was just reminiscing tonight with Oedi about my fond memories of my hometown library

and how I could still remember the ornately carved banisters and the smell of the old books when you walked into the building. It's a war museum now :( and I bet they've gutted out all the beautiful old wood and fixed the funky uneven floors. My mom was the bookmobile driver and every other week they'd make a stop in our neighborhood but as cool as a bookmobile is, it's just not the same as a beautiful old building filled with uneven stacks of books running in every direction like a big jumbled maze. Sweet, sweet memories.
