I just found an audio version of 1984 a couple of weeks ago (everyone I usually listen to seemed to have 'pod faid' that week). <br /><br />If you enjoy adventure and freedom themed books add in some Harry Harrison and Robert Heinlein if you can find it.BackyardMicroFarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021939895178263677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-606619353007788942016-05-17T17:35:21.010-07:002016-05-17T17:35:21.010-07:00Ahh, HG Wells.

I have a long hallway that is floor to ceiling shelves on one side, all cluttered with books just like your pictures. Alas, only one wall, not dozens. I had a visitor once who saw that wall and told me I had too many books! Can you imagine going through life thinking there was such a thing as too many books? So sad.<br /><br />BlueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-26766367841564581142016-05-16T13:15:57.500-07:002016-05-16T13:15:57.500-07:00What a perfect way to spend a birthday!

Even better is the reading...<br /><br />I think those are a dying breed.<br /><br />And I pause to wonder if I'm referring to hole-in-the-wall used book stores (with the passing of One For the Books, formerly of Cape Coral, FL, all my old haunts have disappeared), or the people who frequent them. Other than the bookshelves at Goodwill and the annual library sale, I don't think any of my younger three have ever seen a used book store. <br /><br />Oh, there might be ONE left. If you're ever in Rogers, Arkansas, look for the Friends of the Library Bookstore. I think it's on Second Street. <br /><br />Happy Birthday!!!!MCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-22086009031546892452016-05-16T13:05:08.035-07:002016-05-16T13:05:08.035-07:00My boyfriend took me fabric shopping for my birthd...My boyfriend took me fabric shopping for my birthday last month and I absolutely hugged my goodies afterwards!
