I am so proud of myself. Months ago, I put a hold on a book at our library. Since then, I've been tempted to buy it cheap on Amazon, but instead, waited ever so patiently...frequently checking my email for word of it's arrival. And then today it happened...I got online. I opened my inbox. And there it was...
"Hold ready for Pick-up"
Imagine my delight upon walking into the library, scanning the brown accordian folders on the hold shelves until I saw it's binding, tattered from hungry, late night readers, peeking out from the worn file, marked with my name.
"This nice and subtle happiness of reading, this joy not chilled by age, this polite and unpunished vice, this selfish, serene life-long intoxication." ~Logan Pearsall Smith
