I want to write this down before I forget

When you give someone a book or some thing you consider having value or is well like by yourself, sign it or find a way to personalize it. It's one thing to recieve a recommended book from someone and it's entirely different to recieve one that has been signed and personalized. And books should always be given not borrowed.

that's a great idea :) and yes, come visit soon- I haven't seen you in forever.

[tsumik.livejournal.com]

Yes agreed! Your the most bookiest person I know :) My first thought with a book I don't want anymore is... hmm I wonder if Marcy would want this. :)

[ex-foxglove.livejournal.com]

the answer is always yes, of course :)

[mooneyshine.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes! Inscriptions on books are the best!! Although I do like to lend books and get them back since I like to re-read :).

[tsumik.livejournal.com]

Ah yes see I'm definitely not a re-reader. I do like collecting books though. Among things lol!

Hi doll, how have you been?


What are doing tomorrow afternoon?

I agree about the giving books versus borrowing but I've got to admit when someone writes an inscription in a book for me, even when it's a super nice one, I get a bit weirded out about it. It feels like a form of graffiti or desecration or something ha ha. Maybe when I'm older I'll appreciate it more.

Hmm yeah I can see that. I'm usually pretty OCD about certain things. Like I HATE writing on myself. People write notes on their hand all the time. You won't ever catch me doing that. I don't have a phobia but it just feels wrong to me.

I hate it when people write on themselves too...but I've run into a situation where I needed to in lab.....so I put on a glove and wrote it on the glove instead...

Recently I borrowed/was given a book from my dad. He uses a highlighter when he reads to highlight passages and phrases that speak to him in some way. So I took the book and used a different color highlighter. Then I passed it along to a friend. It's so interesting to see what others will think of the same book - like having a "conversation" in different colored markers.

Ha! That's pretty awesome :)
