  8. is horrified to learn that when a friend of a friend reads books, she rips out each page she has read. Is this cruelty to books or what?!

      You're right kidsmum, there should be an organization to stop such cruelty. The RSPCB (Royal Society for The Protection against Cruelty to Books) maybe?

      I've heard about people doing this on planes to make their luggage lighter. I'm pretty sure Anne Fadiman said in one of her books that her Father does it .. and they are a family of bibliophiles!

      I know it sounds a bit weird, but I would quite like snow here. I couldn't think of anything better than curling up with a good book while it's snowing outside. The problem is that at some point, I would have to go out in it!
