I will start from now on!I move more books than DVDS and CDS I am running out of room!

If I send it to you, you will read it and then share what you get from it with generations of students!

I know what you mean. We are surrounded...@lunarossa<br />I know what you mean. We are surrounded by books in our house, which is very little too. Our books are everywhere and the only ones I've given away so far are old school - texts or children's books we don't need anymore. I'm afraid you won't like the smell if you come and visit us!I really don't mind them or their smell. But my husband and I regularly dust our bookshelves at the weekends. Hard job!Ciao!Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-55838586595791557852009-09-23T12:35:07.574+02:002009-09-23T12:35:07.574+02:00Very interesting.

I seem to keep accumulating books and I do not know where to put them anymore. If I like them a lot, I'd like to keep them, if not I try to get rid of them by giving them to friends, swapping, bookcrossing or even to charity shops (although I don't like doing that, because a book is not an item of clothing that you can get rid of without thinking about it!). But I've still got too many. My problem is that I do not like library books, because they sometimes smell bad and I hate touching them! I'm a bit weird, I know. All the best. Ciao.

Oh, girls, it's such...@Jenny Kerr & Luciana<br />Oh, girls, it's such a joy to have blogger baddies like you! Jenny, do you really want to send me your book? You're incredibly generous! I'm so moved at finding so many great people online. And, Luciana, I know what you mean, If university is killing you, teaching is going if not killing me, to reduce much my reading speed!<br />I'm getting ready for work and having breakfast now. I promise I'll have a look at the link you suggest in the afternoon. Hugs to you both.Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-6721005602410797052009-09-23T04:14:39.366+02:002009-09-23T04:14:39.366+02:00Hey MG, I just found something very nice about Eli...Hey MG, I just found something very nice about Elizabeth Gaskell: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/sep/14/mrs-gaskell-westminster-abbey-memorial .Luciananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-45442692794293463952009-09-23T03:09:37.557+02:002009-09-23T03:09:37.557+02:00OK, I'm having troubles with this quiz.

The sad thing is that I wanted to read more fiction, but university is killing me and I've been reading a lot of academic books and articles. I've the feeling that I'll be able to read a novel again only in December. Now I'm reading a book about the last president of Brazil before the ditactoriship we had in the 20th century. Oh, anyway!

I feel like I've always had an edge over my peers in most circumstances because I could read so well and enjoyed doing it. I have a book I found at the thrift store of critial essays on Wuthering Heights. I first snatched it because it was Wuthering Heights and secondly I thought after I read it I might send it on to you since you are a lit teacher and all. It's got some good essays and opinion pieces in it, even one by Virginia Woolf!Lotta Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110429900653881113noreply@blogger.com
