Ever since then I have surrounded myself with books. Finding bookcrossing
has inspired me to part with some of my dusty friends. They do no good sitting
on a shelf waiting for me to read them again. The wait is extremely long. I figure by the time I get around to reading them I will find them at a bookcrossing somewhere in the future :) Please take care of your precious self and those around you.

"So please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install, A lovely bookshelf on the wall."

After stumbling down the wrong turn in life, you've had your mind
opened to a number of strange and curious things. As life grows curiouser and curiouser,
you have to ask yourself what's real and what's the picture of illusion. Little is coming
to your aid in discerning fantasy from fact, but the line between them is so blurry that
it's starting not to matter. Be careful around rabbit holes and those who smile to much,
and just avoid hat shops altogether.

"It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful." - Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890)
"All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current concepts and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship." -George Bernard Shaw

My favorite local author
DAVID GUTERSON
"Let us read and let us dance - two amusements that will never do any harm to the world." - Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
"The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion, Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift neither teaching nor learning. They are windows to the past,mirrors held up to the present and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time." -Geoffrey Robbins
“The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.” Katherine Mansfield
“Sixty years ago I knew everything. Now I know nothing. Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.”
Don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.
-WINNIE THE POOH-
Moonlight is sculpture; sunlight is painting.
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
