When your friend moves to a new city
(Houston) and writes to tell you that
the Borders on the north end of town
is a little slice of heaven. Bigger
than anything here in Michigan (Then
again, everything in Texas is bigger. Hmmm
maybe it's time to move to Texas ;-).
When you cry because your husband makes you
get rid of some of your books as the
shelves are heaving in the middle and he
fears catastrophy. Later you go hunting
down the people who stopped at your garage
sale to see if they have finished the book
and are willing to sell it back to you.
The color you decorate your room depends on
what stack of book bindings are in the corner
today. Ohhh, Song of Solomon, yellow!
Yes, I think I want my living room to be canary!
You name your pets after favorite authors or characters.
People regard you with consternation when you yell out
for your dog *insert fictional name here*.
On your birthday all you receive is gift certificates
to the local bookstore. The bookstore has your birthday
and friends' names on file as it knows there is at
least $100.00 in certificate sales approaching.
You make your book stand out of books and 2x4s so it
can hold more books.
You gladly consume correctol as you know it will lead
to more time in the "reading room".
The education field was "appealing" because of the bookworm
in the apple.
Sorry, "my bad" as the kids would say.
Happy trick or treater day everyone!
