Old Friends and Glitter

So, this morning I asked my cousin what her kids would like for Christmas. Turns out they love ... books! How great is that? And moreover, they enjoy re-reading books! I cannot remember the last book that I read twice. My brother will. An old friend of mine did -- she compared it to walking the same trail more than once and asked, Don't you enjoy it just as much or MORE?

I listen to CDs more than once.
I revisit restaurants.
I've seen every episode of Seinfeld a dozen times.
...I only read books once

So, even though there are so many books left to read, I will select a previously read volume for my next book. I will let you know how it goes.


And, BTW, we are having the sort of snow today where it just looks like diamond dust in the air. It's sort of non-directional and totally sparkly. Just billions of flashes of silver under a bright sky. I love it!
