I AM NOT ALONE!!! I know a previous post about reading really sounded like I was the only one, but I witnessed something today that made me smile in victory.
Sitting in traffic, (which has gotten worse this past week--thanks 41st street construction) I looked over to my left to the car next to me and what do I see????????????? A young man READING HIS PAPERBACK BOOK. Ha! See, I knew I wasn't wierd. What annoyed me was that I couldn't see what he was reading (the light was red, and we were just sitting there, so don't worry). If his windows would have been down, I would have yelled "Hey, I do the same thing!" ***Not really, just thinking I would have.
It is also my passion to see what other people are reading when I walk by, which is another reason I don't like those electronic readers (seriously, how do you know they aren't reading a porn mag???). I always get a smile when it is a book I have read and enjoyed. This is another reason why I check out the other titles on the shelves in the library that are next to my holds I am picking up. For me, it's not what you are wearing, but what you are reading.
Sidenote: Found a GREAT saying by Louisa May Alcott that I think I need on my tombstone. Take note, please.
