Random Notes

[affreca]

Most people who know me, know that I'm a little book crazy. Maybe not Read or Die level, but getting closer. I'm the type that always notices what book someone is reading, or scans shelves when I go over to someone's house (if they have them). And then there is my comfy reading/lunch spot on the fourth floor of the science library. Every time I leave, my eye is caught by two copies of a book. Nothing flashy, just a corn plant on the spine. It isn't even a book I've read, or plan to read. But I know my parents also have a copy of Crops in War and Peace: Agriculture Yearbook 1950-1951. And that makes me smile.

A few days ago, kphoebe had a poll about if whether or not we were the type of people who carried books at all times. Wherein one person pointed out that there was no way anyone carried a book at all times. I then got blustery and said, yes, in fact, I do. I have a book on my person ALWAYS. To the bar, to the grocery store (what if I have to wait in line?!?!).
Okay, if you want to be technical about it, not on my person. I do not shower with books.

I don't have a book with me at all times, but definitely most. The major reason I carry a purse is to carry around a book (my current one is the perfect size for a paperback, and can fit a hardcover if you squish).
