You reminded me it's been ages since I last dropped in on you. <br /><br />at University, I majored in Literature. Not sure what I was going to do with the degree, but thought it would be helpful somehow. <br /><br />Actually, I just loved to read, and found I got to learn so much about all different types of great literature. American lit. English Lit, Native American stories and writings...good lord, I read so much, and enjoyed it all. <br /><br />I still have all the books I was "forced" to buy and read as a student. I simply can't throw or hardly give a book away!<br /><br />But...and this is a HUGE but, I don't remember them all or even well...not like you have and do...I feel quite sad for myself now...what have I done that I don't remember the names, the story lines, the authors? I'm missing out on the essence of reading I fear...<br /><br /> <br />Be well <br />ChessieChessie (Chesshirecat)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16483022434950803097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35510962.post-45407084824070520682009-11-01T17:20:10.359+01:002009-11-01T17:20:10.359+01:00Hi Herrad, thank you for pictures you send.

I am impressed that you know the books you read in a year 35 years ago as well as the books themselves. I've read some of them as well, but certainly not all. I find it hard now to read as much as I'd like as there are so many other things competing for time, such as perusing my favorite blogs!<br /><br />I can't wait to see some photos of you in the chair and out of the apartment. Very exciting.Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.com
