Maybe if you have books from others you could pop them in a zip plastic bag.<br />I rid out house of so many books over the years but we still have a 6ft bookcase full and I bought 3 new ones last week. I used to get books from the library but I now find they seem to have ebooks and I don't have a reader so have to buy from the stores which is annoying.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-3499007048222652192016-11-20T05:02:44.337+11:002016-11-20T05:02:44.337+11:00Kim: So many familiar expressions do have their r...Kim: So many familiar expressions do have their roots in the bible.

Thinking of this reminds me of a high school teacher who used to say 'read, learn and inwardly digest' - I always loathed the expression.

It is interesting that he even leaves wooden bookcases alone. Guess he isn't into reading only dreaming. Sid sends his meows in greeting to Jazz.
