reading

Have you ever read a book and wanted to write down everything the book said? I just started reading a book and there are so many things in it that strike a cord with me that I might as well just copy the whole book. It isn't my book (I'm borrowing it), so I can't highlight or anything like that, but I'm seriously considering buying my own copy so I won't have to take such copious notes.

And I have to say, I'm happy to be reading a book, even if this is a "good for me" type of book. I've gotten out of my fiction habit. I don't think I'll be going to the next library book sale--I haven't gone through enough books to make room for the new ones.

As an FYI to seattleites-- this sunday is the Swedish pancake breakfast--David is counting down the hours...okay, maybe not the hours, but definitely the days.

Dude, divulge -- what book?!? I'm so impressed that you actually take notes from books - I just dream of doing that and then yawn and reach for my wine glass. I'm thinking of rereading the book that I am just finishing (no, I'm not telling 'til you show me yours first...) in order for it all to really sink in. It's a book I want to be on my brain for a long time to come.
