I just wrote you a post and it went away. But AMerican Idol is on so I can't write it again. Is there anyone here watching AI but me??

OK-- let's see. The lost post was about books. Giving away books. Except for you and my mother-in-law, I don't give away books. Well, every now and then, I find one that I think fits someone really well, and then I will. But mostly I keep books. This past weekend we met with friends we haven't seen in fifteen years, and she was talking about how she was into simplifying her life, and I was nodding, yes, yes, me too, when she said she gave away their books. I was appalled. No books? No, she reads a book, and gets rid of it, and gets another. I felt naked and scared at the thought. No stack of books waiting for you? I realize Dan and I have a folie à deux thing about books, but I never thought there was REALLY something wrong with us. There are lots of people here who are the same way about books, so I have just assumed it was those weird people with objets d'arts in their bookshelves who were odd, not US. I can't imagine not having my pile of books waiting for me. It would be like a wine rack with no bottles in it. An empty refrigerator. And you have the same obsession and that is why I know your dream will never come true.
