Borrowing books

There is one LARGE problem with borrowing books from friends. You must return the book ( and in a timely fashion). I have read two borrowed books this week. Debbie lent me Sunday's at Tiffany's. It was fine. Very light reading and it had a very unique, imaginary character which was fun. I ponied it back to her and moved on. However, my friend Mary, an advid reader, lent me a tiny little book called, The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. " Roxanne, you MUST read this book. I just love it," she said to me on Monday. It was a quick read which I finished this morning during nap time. Oh, what a powerful story about how reading changes ones' life. Not changes ones' life like in The Reader, where the basics change everything. In this book it is is the LOVE OF READING that changes everything. Since it is a very short book, I can't say any more about it without ruining it for you but I did love it. When I love a book, it is my friend and I need to be able to keep it close to me. Oh, but I must return this book to Mary. Mary loved it way before I loved it. How sad! So I close my musings today, but know I will be leaving this blog to visit Amazon.com!!
