I started reading when I was four years old, and I pretty much haven't stopped since. As my mother has remarked, if there's nothing else available, I will read the toothpaste tube. I read everything except romance novels, and as long as the book is well written, I'll finish it even if I'm not thrilled by the story. I guess I'm always... more »

    I purchased the most wonderful book for Mr. B--Pirateology. You simply must check it out. It has all sorts of hidden pockets and interactive bits.

    Ye Gods! Do you realize that you have 3,506 books on your shelf? I think we need to lobby the Congress to expedite the promotion of the Major to Major-General post-haste just for you afford all of the shelves! ;-)

    Well, it does give a rather large hint as to what's coming !

    Actually, my dear Dame Daisy, it was You and TRotN back-and-forth, bless your anti-Eustacia heart! ;-) Give me a couple of years, I'll convert you yet. There's good in that gel, you just gotta dig deep. Thanks for bringing me home!

    He's much more in to bacon and salted caramel right now. I actually purchased a bacon salted caramel cupcake for him yesterday!

    I'd not thought of that! He loves to cook with me, so that should work.

    I concur. I always say that it doesn't matter what you read, just that you read.

    I knew I could rely on you. Mr. B is a rather reluctant reader. And a reluctant student. He does, however, still love for me to read to him. Boys are so diffy, but so totally divine, too.

    Tell me, darling, is your boy a reader? I'm looking for books for Mr. B, who finishes third grade in a few days.

    Nice to meet you. I love to read literature and fiction, but I write mostly non-fiction short stories, slice of life, humor and one book, dedicated to my lost daughter, called . . . And the Whippoorwill Sang. I'd love to write a fiction novel but can't seem to stretch my short fiction. I prefer reading and writing that is not formula or strict genre wrting--love the old great literature writers of the past.

    Oh yes! And here I am just discovering some wonderful classic literature. I may have to give in to modern technology and get an e-reader.

    I have the same issue. There are never enough shelves!

    Re shelving Dodger, I might suggest a new shelf for Artful Dodger books. There seems to be a trend at present. Best I've read so far is Jack Dawkins by Charlton Daines, but Dodger is next on my list.

    :-) Part of the plan, my dear. I didn't want to get into details on the page and risk a whack from Tinky! It's been a hectic week and the weekend won't be much better but I'll get in touch with Dennis and see what we can work out.
