I'm just a bit jelous of all the good stuff you can buy in the States - Skeleton hand martini glasses, spiderweb and bat lace tableware, cuttlery and porcelain with spooky decors... I'd love to own any of these! But we are still united in our desire for the spookyness, for fall colours and fog and cold and crispy weather. For creepy reads and cozy blankets with hot chocolate. So please don't mind my jelousy and keep on posting your goodies!Leneleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182680654861239740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-89962210418611301542015-08-11T02:23:05.621-04:002015-08-11T02:23:05.621-04:00I yearn for a real physical diary (with Halloween ...I yearn for a real physical diary (with Halloween material) now!

It's how you feel and ho...That isn't silly. It's how you feel and how you were raised. <br /><br />My parents were big readers and that influenced me. My fella tears magazines apart and gives me articles that he knows I will want to read. We recycle the rest. <br /><br />It took some of my students by surprise when I would tear out sections from my Norton Anthology. I think the African American Literature text weighs about ten pounds so I would tear out sections, staple them and carry them with me. The pages weren't destroyed; I read and annotated them. Once I was back on campus I would put them back in the cover/shell. As a commuter, I just can't carry around all the books that I use for my courses. I keep multiple copies when I can but it isn't always feasible. So I completely understand what you mean. I don't think I could have torn a book from the early 1900s either but modern editions... Well, to me, it's more about accessing the content.

But I just love books too much, as a child my mum always taught me to respect and take care of them, so that when I see people 'repurposing' them, no matter how pretty the outcome, my heart sinks a little. It's like a real emotional 'gasp! You can't do that to BOOKS!' And I feel like mourning the book that was. That scene with the library books in The Day After Tomorrow always makes me wince! I know its silly. I can't help it!Lexington the 1sthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943902109024256924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-18401704521190036872015-08-07T17:03:22.467-04:002015-08-07T17:03:22.467-04:00Yep, that's the one!Yep, that's the one!
