A BOOK ABOUT BOOKS

I gave in yesterday at Barnes & Noble and bought, The Man who Loved Books TooMuch.
I guess it's because I love books too much! This 274 mystery had me from the very first
time I picked it up to read. Day after day, I went to Barnes & Noble just to read a few more
pages from the book with the thought of not puchasing it. But the more I read it, the more
I knew I had to have it. I thought about stealing it. I thought about reading it and leaving
it alone. I thought about it over coffee in the Starbuck Cafe. When I was given a gift card
for Christmas, I knew I had to buy the book.
Now, I want to re-read it with pencil in hand and be able to underscore significant sentencs
from the book. I want to look up some of the books this book about books mentions. I want
to read more about the author and, I want to make sure no one steals my book about stealing.
By the way, while I was at Barnes & Noble yesterday I picked up another new book that I
want to read whenever I go back to Barnes & Noble. Who knows, I just might buy it too.
