Library Books...

I have always loved to read ever since I was little and my Papa used to help me read dinosaur books with huge words in them. Our fav was Diplidocus..I don't know why but it stuck with us all these years even now that he is gone. But anyway, I just finished a book I got from the library, Anagrams by Lorrie Moore. I was turned on to it by Jess. (Thanks!! ) It was good..different...but good. I have been thinking about writing books forever now and I never got started on it because I always thought my book would be too "wishy-washy" like it wouldn't have a sensible direction. After reading this I realize that I could write a book the way I want and it still could be great. I mean the author really just went off on certain tangents and it totally added to the story even though the tangent didn't always have to do with the topic at hand.
Well the reason I was even writing this blog was to say how much I love getting books from the library vs. buying them. I mean when I buy it I rarely read them because I am so picky about what to buy, having to commit forever to my choice, and it isn't always a decent book. But with a library book I am only opening myself up to a trial period. I do not have to commit and I can take home more than one option to flip through and choose the one that fits my fancy at the moment. I can tell by how warn the book is, if many have enjoyed it before me and you used to be able to see who checked it out and on what date but we are too high tech for check out cards in books anymore.
Like the Oh so sexy/smart Carrie Bradshaw (somewhat) says in the SATC movie...They have a certain smell. (Please correct me on this quote if you know what she says)
