I don't know....librarian didn't seem like a job when I was a teenager in the 1970's....certainly not a career option - and yet sometimes I think I would love to work in one! I think because I knew from age 10 I wanted to write. I ended up in bookstores, instead, and have always thought that i would love to own my own bookstore. (You could work there! WE could have so much fun! and I wouldn't melt down like your A/M!!)<BR/> Whenever I get a chance to join your bookclub, I will (next year? when the kids let me out more??). Other than you, there is no one in my life anymore who reads like I do, except my mother who just reads (doesn't analyze or think about it). I used to have a very good friend who read fantasy so we were always telling each other and sharing books, etc. she is a writer too, so we approached books the same way - from a writer point of view, as well as reader. <BR/> Well, now you know my secret - I am passionate about books! Honestly, if I still had the books I gave away when I went to England, we would have easily double the shelves etc....(Toby can't really imagine this either!) <BR/>We can talk about books any time you like, Patricia....we always have so many other things to share too, that sometimes what we're reading gets left out. :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-77585819245642134342008-01-18T08:16:00.000-05:002008-01-18T08:16:00.000-05:00Wow your writings truly show your dedication and t...Wow your writings truly show your dedication and thought about writing! We never discussed books or themes, etc, so this is a new side of you I'm seeing. Obviously it is your passion ~ which I knew about....just not the depth or breadth of your knowledge and opinions! Why didn't you become a librarian?Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256567414059449423noreply@blogger.com
