I love books, too. I have about 6000 on the Kindle Reader on my computer. I try to read 4 books a week. So this puzzle was perfect for me - except the print was a wee bit too small for my eyes..:-)

I emulate Groucho! Reading is my relaxation and I read voraciously - about 250 books a year. Thank goodness for my Kindle. It holds so many books on all subjects and makes traveling a breeze.

I just bought a Samsung/Nook for my husband so he can download and read while we are on vacation.

I love to read too, but when my notepad died I did not replace it, really like the feel of a book in my hands. I read about 8 books a month, sometimes more. I donate
the ones I buy to our library and also check out ones from them. I read for about an hour or two before bed every night. I'm never without one to read in the house.

ParsonWayne - four books a week, are you a speed reader? My husband was able to read quickly too and got through many books in the time we were married. Hugs.

Catlady, I'm with you. Love the feel of a book in my hand and being able to turn to the next page. I read before I go to bed and have a rocker in my bedroom which is my reading chair. It is all set up with a light etc, so do enjoy my reading time and wind down time before I go to bed. Hugs.

Catlady - just to mention today (Saturday here) I go to the library and I have had Joel Osteen's latest book "I am" on order and it is ready to be picked up. I love going to the library and they seem to have a never ending supply of good books, even though it is not a big library. The staff are great as well and always helpful. Hugs.

Know what you are saying, our here is nice size and very helpful staff. They are in a system of a number of smaller town as well as Norman also you can get an OKC card and use for theirs. If they don't have it in this one, they will get it from one of their other one and send it here. They also have a great site that has all of the system on it.

I think it was also Groucho who said: "Outside a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside a dog it is too dark to read."

Funny one ParsonW. But if you had a tablet instead you could:-)

The only tablets we had when I was growing up had a lot of lines on each page, but no words. Now I have a tablet that has l=ots of words and a few lions also.

I studied Modern Greek Language and Literature...Literature is my love.....I would like to write a novel one day...

I wrote 2. Nothing serious. Just fun stuff. I got started by doing a short story with a friend. We alternated writing a short story and he was a published writier and thought it good enough to show to his publisher. That's as far as it went but it was so much fun I decided to go ahead and try writing a novella by myself.

I never tried to publish anything, although I have written many poems...I have translated a book of poetry of a friend in English and we published it in limited copies....

I can only speak/read/understand my own language. It is so wonderful that you can speak/understand another language well enough to translate poetry. You should be very proud. That's a wonderful achievement.
As for the books I only epublished as it was easy to do and cost nothing. I still haven't made up the price of paying for the copyrights. There are so many books on Kindle and mine are so far down the list that I don't think anyone has the patience to even come across them much less choose them. The few that bought the first one didn't give it a star so I guess it wasn't much good.

Well, my native language is Greek, I had to learn more languages...I also speak a little Spanish..although my English was very good, when I went to Manchester, UK for a postgraduate course I could not understand much. It took me a month to get used to the accent....

We have trouble understanding some of the BBC shows and all we speak is English. People are always making fun of me for my Brooklyn accent. I haven't lived in Brooklyn since I was 4 but the accent never leaves.

In Greek we have accents too! The "BBC" accent was more easy for me to understand than the Mancunian accent...I have made English friends there who came from south cities of England and they told me that they couldn't understand that accent at first...The good thing is that, I can watch almost everything without subtitles
Books are wonderful. I love to read. I'm now reading a book, my 3rd one since Christmas!! Hope all our Crazy4Jigsaw puzzle family and staff has a great weekend!!!
Read the Bell Jar and Othello since Christmas (in book form) and am starting the Unconsoled (in book form). I mostly listen to cd's of books but I am always doing other things so it's only good to listen to pulp stuff where you don't have to mull things over.

I enjoy everything. It's nice to mix it up. Although one thing I like better real is solitaire. I love the feel of the cards although these days I just play it on the tablet.
one thing that hurts my teeth is when someone rubs their fingers together over a piece of newsprint. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.
I am full on trying to cell my house and keep it looking as new as I can it is find when I am alone but when I have family or friends come along I just love it but then have to start all over again it is just like a Puzzle putting it all back together again.
I love to read, too. But with working and limited time I had to choose what to do in my free time. Puzzles won! Love them! I admit I'm addicted. We were out late last night and didn't get my puzzle in and I actually went through withdrawal!
i can make the print larger

Good night dear friends and may God abundantly bless you. Hugs.
