I just love the butterflies

Lovely butterflies. Hmm, big books. I’m not really fussy about the size of my books, but if I’m walking around a lot a big book can be annoyingly weighty.

By the way, tag you’re it Chartroose, I’ve tagged you in the 6 random things meme.

Thanks, Stephanie!
We should do a t-shirt! Let me think on this for a little while…

Care — You’re absolutely right about the Kindle being unimpressive. It is SOOO convenient, though. Brand new books only cost from $8 to $10, and you can download them instantly. It’s kind of scary, because if it creates advocates out of lifelong readers like me, it can take over the industry. Maybe I’ll write a post about it.

Ty — Baby got books! I sneak peeks too, and sometimes I’m pretty sure I offend people when I do that. I form higher opinions of readers as well, unless they’re like my ex, who only reads Sports Illustrated and Playboy (for the articles, of course).

Softdrink — Jeez, it’s nice to hear from you again! Hope your vacation went well. I’m not crazy about icky bugs either, unless they’re butterflies.

I’m so with you on the gardening…it is too much like work. And there’s dirt and icky bugs involved.

I love big books and I cannot lie! (omigod, did I really just type that?). I think people who read are cool too! Sometimes when I’m in a public place and I see someone reading, I do the whole lean and sneak a peek thing. I happen to be really nosy about what people are reading. While I’m at it, I also check out their bookmarks. Truth be told, when I see people reading, I form a higher opinion of them.

How is anyone going to be impressed with what you are reading when you’re using the Kindle!?

Love the flutterbys…

That is just too funny!! I like Big Books Too!! I should have a T-shirt printed up!!

I don’t tend to change what I read by the seaons. If anything changes, it’s my reading habits!

Happy Thursday!

Stephen — I believe you. You’re way too refined to be caught dead in a 2-ton truck. I’m still picturing you in a Rolls, a Bentley, perhaps? If you can afford one of those, the size of your Johnson doesn’t matter at all!

Lesley — Thanks! I’ve seen that black and white swallowtail everywhere! It’s so awesome; it reminds me of a zebra.

Lisa — Mort (the Pug) is hilarious about this. He gets so excited that he spins around and around in circles. Pillow (the Persian) starts out all lassiez-faire about the whole thing but eventually becomes posessed to the point that he’s hissing and pouncing on the light with his fur standing on end!

Ann — I had no idea there was a butterfly shortage in the UK. How sad! There are quite a few different types of butterflies here in the US that are endangered. A couple have already become extinct. I hope this doesn’t happen in Britain.

Linda — I recently got a Kindle, and while it’s 100 times more convenient to use, it absolutely cannot compare to the look, feel and smell of a big old hardcover book. I think the day is coming when many books will only be published electronically. I hope this happens after I’m dead, because I don’t think I’ll be able to deal with it!

I thought I was the only one who has a thing for hardcover books. I used to be so jealous of people who could afford them. I always waited for the paperbacks. Whenever I’d see people in the airport with hardcover books, I’d think that they were rich. Well, I’m still not rich but I do occasionally treat myself to a hardcover. I just love the feel of it in my hands.
