Books, books, books
Aren't book awesome?! At any one time, I'm reading about 3 different books. I have a downstairs book, a beside-the-bed book and a bathroom book. (However, right now I'm only reading 1776.) "H" reads more than I do. And "J" and "E" read 20 minutes every day after school.

We have a downstairs bookshelf. And we have a bookshelf upstairs in the hallway and one in my bedroom. We have a basket in the bathroom that--in my sister's words--is "the best organized magazine rack" she's ever seen. And we still don't have enough room for all of our books!

My brother asked the family just recently to name ten people in history whose names are most memorable for their accomplishments. But just think how many books have influenced history. The Koran, Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, Quotations by Chairman Mao, Das Kapital, The Feminine Mystique, the Bible...and don't forget the Art of French Cooking.


But, that's it. I just love books.
