I used to go to the library on Saturday, take out four books, and be back again on Tuesday to get some more! I still read at least a book a week, and I can't go to sleep without reading at least a few pages. I can't imagine life without books.

Cinnamon Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Â You all MUST read 'The five people you meet in Heaven' Please. Its a classic. Order it NOW on Amazon. I promise you that you won't regret it (this is from someone who once wasted a month reading Moby blummin' Dick. Never again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
