I've always felt like that even as a kid, so it's pretty wonderful to see my eldest devouring books like I used to do. Although he's even ahead of me at the same age.<br />Library's are wonderful and a good one is like a little pot of gold within a community. cityhippyfarmgirlhttp://cityhippyfarmgirl.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808856970830653836.post-84444713414399504802014-02-21T14:34:26.071-08:002014-02-21T14:34:26.071-08:00ps i hope you have a lovely weekend too..it's ...ps i hope you have a lovely weekend too..it's much cooler here now and we've had a bit of rain..the first in over two months..what's it like in broken hill?tea with hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404611306828017582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808856970830653836.post-32631854725466290442014-02-21T14:31:58.313-08:002014-02-21T14:31:58.313-08:00hi jane..thanks for your comments..i think reading...hi jane..thanks for your comments..i think reading is a habit i picked up when i was young when there was no television and it's stayed with me..but my children are not readers and very few of their friends or peers seem to be either..i think it's natural that the various technologies have to a large extent replaced reading..although having said that i think the joy of reading a good book is unique and not available through other mediums..xtea with hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404611306828017582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808856970830653836.post-5125606926293586602014-02-21T14:06:38.691-08:002014-02-21T14:06:38.691-08:00i don't follow reading trends or hype over the...i don't follow reading trends or hype over the latest releases either fran..i used to be a bit more eclectic in my taste and i'd always finish a book even if i wasn't enjoying it but now i'll give a book a fair go and if it's not doing anything for me i'll stop reading it..i'm the same with movies..very few mainstream movies appeal to me..two that i've enjoyed in recent times were 'a separation' and 'amour'..do you and steve get to the movies much?tea with hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404611306828017582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808856970830653836.post-30434030101441363552014-02-20T19:59:35.844-08:002014-02-20T19:59:35.844-08:00You always give us another interesting glimpse int...You always give us another interesting glimpse into your life Jane! I have embraced second-hand books and the library more and more in recent years. I only buy books that I absolutely love and even then I consider my purchases carefully. <br /><br />But, I must admit I do not read as many 'proper' books as I should. I tend to read cookbooks and gardening books and occasionally I branch into books on raising and educating children. Have a lovely weekend xJane @ Shady Bakerhttp://shadybaker.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808856970830653836.post-14718038588469115322014-02-20T17:42:25.148-08:002014-02-20T17:42:25.148-08:00I am a book lover.

I love the thrill of the chase and finding a new author that engulfs me for a time. I love coming out the other side of a book a better person than when I went in. I read a lot of books but really enjoy only a few. I love Terry Pratchett. I don't care that its considered lightweight. I make up my own mind as to what I like and could care less what the latest trend is in books. Like education, books are powerful. They can take you all over the place and back again in a single afternoon without leaving your chair, your pyjama's, and all accomplished with a cup of tea and a packet of chocolate biscuits perched right there in front of you for regular sustenance. Life is good when you are reading a good book. Life isn't as colourful when you finish. You are a better person for having read than if you don't. Did I mention I love book? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
