EXCERPT FROM THE EMAIL

START OF EXCERPT

*********************

Buy a good twenty books... and start reading them... that might make you less restless

...

I purchased this book called ""XXXX" at the public library used book sale...I always make it a point to buy used books coz it adds to the charm of the reading process...the thought that someone else touched these pages or read the same lines that i am reading in this very book ,,kinda warms my heart,,,,makes me feel a connection

so...go and buy some books.... the Books that i suggest here are going to be classic ones or some oddball books

like the 2006 winter release of the XXXXXX which i finished reading while on my flight from the US to FRankfurt... that was one good read

hmmmmm....i re read this book called GOOD EARTH.. by pearl s buck... incidentally..before my flight i had to dispose off all my stuff in the apartment and much to my disliking...i had to give those books back to the same public library i bought them from..gosh... awwwww...my books..i had to give them back..It was almost like ,,i tore a small piece of tissue from my heart and left it there at the public library...

I gave away my mountain bike too... THE 15 geared Mt.fury..awwwwww....The pain of giving away things that i grow sentimentally attached to...gosh...

so yeah...why the hell am i rambling about all this here?

MY 2012 POSTNOTE for the blog!!!

As a post-note, I think ,USED BOOKS are such a joy...I don't like buying USED CLOTHES(UNHYGENIC) or USED ELECTRONICS OR FURNITURE...but used books? anytime baby,anytime!

I like buying them because oftentimes, I have found, addresses of the previous owners or their names neatly imprinted on the first white page of the book.I love finding out that the previous reader has left doodles or side notes on the white margins of the book(which I OFTEN DO TOO-Kinda keeps record of my mindset when i first read the book and much fun to re-read years later)

I DOG-EAR pages and will make note of the sex scenes in each book by noting the page numbers in which such scenes occur.I note these pages at the first page..LOL...which is why I LIKE USED BOOKs...coz i can check out someone else's anecdotes about the same book that I AM just about to explore.

also,recycling ,does help prevent cutting more trees to print out the same book.SHARING IS CARING...share your books ( i know, as a writer, royalties matter and the more books purchased, the more royalty and all that jazz..but still, beyond a basic selling number, royalties must be ignored)

btw,all I HAVE of the mt.fury now IS PICTURES...it was LIGHT ELECTRIC BLUE IN COLOR.:))
