She listed the following "quirky pointers", as she called them, about herself:
- No sense in wasting time with books that don’t challenge or edify.- Not everything on the Bestseller’s list is worthy of my time.
- Life is too short to waste on fluff or nonsense.
- Every now and then I read for fun.
- I prefer meaty spiritual classics over contemporary spiritual writers.
- My books reflect my journey, where I’ve been, and where I’m going.
- My favorite books are dog-earred, highlighted, and written in.
- Books evoke a warm feeling in me.
- I don’t understand people who won’t read.
- Friends who give books as gifts are true friends, indeed.
- A person’s bookshelf tells me a lot about that person.
- I could vacation in the public library and not miss home.
- Books are all over my home and car—I read every chance I get.
- I need to know and share truth.
- My Bible is the most important book in my life.
Good stuff! If they are quirky points then I'm really "off-the-wall".

Hi David! Thanks for sharing this with your friends. It's always a pleasure to connect with someone else who loves and appreciates good books!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,

"especially the parchments" ... i can hear the concern & need for the parchments ...
ReplyDeleteDear David..This is a good list for sure!!
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY thing though David, I can bear a book that is dog eared if it was like that when I bought it but you will never find ME dog earing one!
I think you should respect the book!
I am always getting after my poor mom for that.
One of these days that dear little "Lady in the Hat" is going to bop me right in the nose!!

I stumbled across a quotation today while I was reading and it reminded me of this post, so I thought I'd share!
