I love and loved being read to. My grandmother STILL reads to me and I'm 32 years old.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Because they gnaw on the books?
They do that at the bookstore too.

Librarian Warlord
A good friend of mine (J) is taking a class with a legendary librarian in Oakland who does storytime. J was reading to the kids for the first time the other day.
J: "You don't think they'll mutiny on me, do you?"
Me: "Just don't read them Lord of the Flies and put ideas in their head."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They do that at the bookstore too.Human Drool Monsters...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yay Carrots! And also, yay wallets!
I borrowed some books from the kids section of my library when I was researching my tattoo. (They turned out to be a terrific picture resource.) Perhaps it was just the Learn Exciting Historical Stuff section, but all the books I grabbed were either sticky or outright slimey. Luckily the ones I needed were only sticky. But even so, I had to wash my hands every time I looked through them. But what can you do? Wee fingers go up wee noses or in wee mouths, and then they touch the books. And I definitely want to encourage them in the grabbing the books part of the equation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It beats Lutherans.
Only if they ask pretty. And use a safeword.
Awwwww... The L Word and The Boy.

Trudy, did you get my follow-up e-mail? I have this fear that Gmail is selectively cyber-shredding my e-mails.
