BOOKS = the perfect prescription for boredom
"I'm a simple person who loves long walks down the aisles of used book shops."
"I don't have a favorite book, I have hundreds."
"If you've dated a bookworm raise your glass ... If not, raise your standards."
"I wrote a book on snow. Though I realize now that paper would have been a better choice."
Good Books are Great Friends
"What is a bookshelf other than a treasure chest for the curious mind?"
"I'm a bookaholic on the road to recovery. Just Kidding! I'm on the road to the bookstore.
My favorite game is called "How Many Chapters Can I Read Tonight"
