Reading means I have to sit down and I am doing more of that than I'd like to already. I'm sure after I have this baby and am up and running around like crazy again I will crave a good book reading session.Leihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602022032114765911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19425334.post-1142973721855736402006-03-21T13:42:00.000-07:002006-03-21T13:42:00.000-07:00I love to read too and I'm so sad that I haven't t...I love to read too and I'm so sad that I haven't taken that opportunity lately.<BR/><BR/>I'm a dog-earer too.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456873220203466344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19425334.post-1142959247935136862006-03-21T09:40:00.000-07:002006-03-21T09:40:00.000-07:00I heart books too.

I have always been an avid reader. As a child my parents used to have to "frisk" me before I was allowed to use the bathroom, because I would take a book with me and spend the next hour in the potty. Usually sitting on the floor. It was a very successful way to read without interruption (like being forced to clean the kitchen after dinner) until the folks caught on. <BR/><BR/>What book are you reading now?<BR/><BR/>I recently finished <I>The Time Traveller's Wife</I>. Very good read. I highly recommend it.Goslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153864420303599725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19425334.post-1142922753579731692006-03-20T23:32:00.000-07:002006-03-20T23:32:00.000-07:00Thanks for todays simple pleasures.

I was slow and if I tried to read fast, I would often lose the meaning and end up rereading the passage. But I enjoy reading your blog. I'm very curious: What delicious book are you submersed in?Diana Mancusohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325548074184305809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19425334.post-1142905850976195452006-03-20T18:50:00.000-07:002006-03-20T18:50:00.000-07:00I love to sit down at night in my comfy chair, aft...I love to sit down at night in my comfy chair, after the kids are in bed, after the house is cleaned up, and read.
