If you click on the little yellow book in the sidebar,you will discover, as I just did, this excellent site called Bookcrossing. It exists to promote a novel way of encouraging people to read books. (Novel - books - get it? Oh well, please yourself!) The idea is that you join up and recommend a book you have read on the site and then leave it in a public place for someone else to pick up and read, in the hope that they too will pass it on in their turn. Seems like a good idea so I joined this morning. I only have one problem. Since I discovered the joys of writing and reading blogs, I have done appallingly little reading, so it looks as if I shall have to cut down on the blog-browsing and read more so that I will actually have a book to recommend!
No, Jenny! Don't waste your time reading books! What good will that do? It will only keep you away from writing. And I do so enjoy your writing.
ReplyDeleteGo jenny go! I too am a very bookish person, and what a nice idea! I find myself closing up the 'puter after gawd knows how many pages and words read (I read at least 5 tumes as much as i type, and i type a lot!) and taking a book to bed to relax after a hard day's reading, lol. Oh, and the 'mature memory'? I prefer to think of it as having so darned much valuable information stored in my brain that there's just not much room left for more....lol "Teacher? May I be excused? I think my brain is full..."
