Hmm didn't smeel like a book to me- plus it was hard and what if the batteries died while you were on the last chapter reading it at a picnic in a field? naarr I like real books too much. <BR/><BR/>I recently got hold of a book via Amazon marketplace I had from as young as I can remember. "Neddy Know Nothing". It must've come from Nan's house originally as my Mum was the sort who liked modern and neat and tidy. I think children's books are better illustrated (whatever happened to adult illustrated fiction?) and more magical than a lot of adult stuff. I have a little collection myself.

I have listened to lots of books on cd because of my long commute every week. I haven't read a book on-line. I guess I'm kind of old school. It just doesn't seem right. I love to hold books and carry them around with me everywhere. Last Christmas the girls that work for me got me a childhood book I had been trying to get. I cried like a baby. It took me back to more than 50 years ago as a little girl reading my little Twins book. I could smell the food in the book and the little girls made me feel so happy. Aren't books so wonderful!!!!Nana Trish is Living the Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401202649082669911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-29628824345861718982008-11-20T18:55:00.000-05:002008-11-20T18:55:00.000-05:00So glad that you are feeling better.Last Sunday I ...So glad that you are feeling better.<BR/><BR/>Last Sunday I did something I have not done in ages - I stayed all day in bed curled up with a book as it rained.
