Im gla...I am not ready to let go of that old life. Im glad you can, and can move on. I feel so stuck.<br /><br />I am quite shocked about you giving your books away! Even if I cannot read them now, I LOVE having books around. I would love to curl up in a vat of books, swim through a sea of books, touching the spines, feeling the shape, the weight, the potential. I love used books, the smell, the history, the feel of pages in my hands. I couldnt give away my books even if I didnt have eyes to see them or hands to hold them. <br /><br />I get this from my dad, I know. The first time we went to the Friends of the Library book sale at Magnasun, dad and I got 223 books between the two of us. It felt like a feast. Gluttons for books.<br /><br />My mother in law gave us a Nook for Christmas, and a gift card to buy books. I felt so torn - the books she wanted us to buy were only $3 more for the boxed hardback set! But I realized that wasnt the point of the gift. But it really hurt, buying my first eBook. Like ripping off a bandaid.Tressahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836162668498104159noreply@blogger.com
