Book Monday
Mar. 20th, 2006 07:26 amToday I will write of books, because most of my goals for the day all have to do with books in one way or another. Which makes for a lovely day, to be sure, as I am a book fiend if there ever was one. Just ask my Hubby, who has been faced with rooms full of books that have to be dealt with over in Pakistan -- all too precious to just "get rid of." ;-)
Pakistan's capital city had masses of marvelous used books stores, and you could find anything there -- and I did, which is why my collection of precious books over there is so large. I think I'll be getting some of them back, too -- maybe not when DH returns, because he has limited room in his luggage, but he hopes to ship some things, and also a friend who is coming from there in a few months has offered to bring some things. She knows me well, and knows I need my books, now that I have been reminded of what is there!
So today, to start things off, I will read my daily passage from the Best of Books, the Bible. It's a good way to start the day, no matter what kind of goals I might have! Then, I will be cleaning up and organizing the books I have so as to make room for more. I might even dust the shelves! I may get to the library to borrow some books I have been thinking of reading, and I'm taking my son to the Mall to buy shoes. There is a bookstore there, so of course, we will have to stop in. And I need to read a few more times the book I got on Interlibrary Loan, that I have been searching for now for years and finally have in my hands. It has to go back tomorrow, and I am loth to see it go.
We can't truly go back to the past to relive those special moments we remember -- but we can almost do it, through books, especially ones that touch us and hold us firmly throughout the years.
Happy reading today, my friends!
