With what little money I have I buy a book. If anythings left I buy food and clothing.

I love Till We Have Faces, but I love Dance of the Dissident Daughter more.

I judge a person by whether they read or not. My Kiddy Lit Prof once stated that as long as a kid is reading that’s what matters. They will get board eventually and find something more challenging.

I’ll admit, though, that as a librarian I’ve come to the conclusion that “romance” novels are a housewife’s porn. When I see a woman check out 30+ of these a week I can’t help but think something is wrong in her life.

Your FIL and I would be great friends.

I judge people on their art as well as their books. I guess that’s a succinct way of saying that you’re not safe with me poking my head around your house. Maybe ‘judge’ is the wrong word, maybe I’m looking for ‘measure.’

Coming to this late, because I just discovered this site. This post made me laugh. Even if I hadn’t known that Heather had written it, I would have recognized her FIL. At one time he was a very important mentor in my life, and always, to this day, my friend.

He has the most ecelectic interests of anyone I have ever known–from sailing to blacksmithing to making stained glass to serious composting to passionately nurturing his cub scouts, etc. etc., etc. His music, art and literature tastes range over the whole world.

He also adores Heather and indeed her whole family. I especially remember his awe filled comments when “Little Sister” was born. He had nothing but the highest praise for Heather’s courage in the face of daunting physical challenges to get her little one here.

He has been a dear and interesting friend, so hats off to Richard O.

Because in Wyoming, recycling the printed word is as important as reading it.

I would judge people by their bookshelves, but I live in Wyoming. The only books here are kept in outhouses.
