When we go out on a cheap date (In-N-Out Burgers), we often stop by Bookman's used books, all organized and neat, but with the feel of old about it.<br /><br />We're re-readers, and keep stacks of favorites along the bedroom walls, separate from their cousins on the bookshelves in the family roomBruce Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627254333663911941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-35322577244615121522010-12-02T16:14:39.309-05:002010-12-02T16:14:39.309-05:00Hi Petro - het ek ooit dankie gese vir die kelkie ...Hi Petro - het ek ooit dankie gese vir die kelkie sjampanje in Parys - Frankryk, nie Vrystaat, nie :-)? Indien nie, dankie! Nee, die wind het tog 'n bietjie bedaar. I'm not that crazy. But the rose was suffering and I just could not look at it bent over like that...There's a Shakesperare and Co. here, too. More reasons to visit.<br /><br />Anyes - perhaps I should brave the shop with the piles of books, then...<br /><br />Teri - I did not know about the strandings, but did see wind advisories from the previous night. What stranded them, wind or water?<br /><br />MIT - be sure to cook them on low! Or they'll boist inter flames! I'll add the bookstores to the map I'm making for you.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-83815262134125672512010-12-02T16:05:20.151-05:002010-12-02T16:05:20.151-05:00I think my boots will head, like an auto-piloted d...I think my boots will head, like an auto-piloted drone, to Pranga.

There were so many autos just stranded there. I knew it was on it way east. We had it here about a week ago and it dropped snow on us, broke the tops of trees off that still had leaves, and the winds were high. I think this winter will be one for the record books. And I agree with you about the Kindle. I don't think that I could ever enjoy reading a book off of its screen. I need the pages too. There is just something so comforting about a book...a real book. And besides, once you buy a book on Kindle, do you have it forever or can it accidentally be deleted? This is something I have never known. I could buy a lot of books for the price of a Kindle. And, where you do find such ambiance? Not inside a computer store, that's for sure!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046623774704584939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-26727448662961233342010-12-02T12:01:31.491-05:002010-12-02T12:01:31.491-05:00I love the MacLeods' bookstore in Vancouver, t...I love the MacLeods' bookstore in Vancouver, the feel is right for me...giant piles of books and the nicest owner answering all the questions you might have...Thank you for making me crave rain and books together ;-)Anyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728190795984417290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-14327344751021390102010-12-02T10:43:31.130-05:002010-12-02T10:43:31.130-05:00Hi Marie,

I always say lightning will strike me if I pass a bookshop and not go in.(And buy!)I had a credit card, given to me by my husband, to be used in emergencies. Well, Exclusive Books had a sale.What more can I say!<br />The most wonderful bookshop in the world must be "Shakespear & Co in Paris. I wanted to move in!<br />Is jy nie bietjie gek om in sulke weer op die dak rond te vroetel nie?Petronoreply@blogger.com
