It’s often the older books, with their patient and lovely prose, that draw me in. Certainly not snubbing authors. I think I have read so much and I’m at an age where many things don’t interest me anymore. I feel certain there must be a name for this...perhaps midlife crisis...lol.

GOLDEN NUGGETS books shout from their shelves pleading...won’t you choose me please ...let me join your team some wait patiently coughing antiquity’s dust white hair...piercing eyes popularity like unbroken chain letter ...too many partners the rare find hidden simple..shy..golden nuggets — knuckles rest on chin my shovel moves dirt... i dig the dinosaur bones ...glancing side to side curiosity wonders why no one else cares …i lick my fingers 4/26/2018 Brian Strand’s contest

There is something about the smell and feel of old books that you don't get from a computer - I love their charm!

Having a love affair with books as well, I can relate to this splendid write. They are all living words.

Working at a new library since December. We have a creative space with a green room and a recording studio, etc.. people are loving it! And of course books!
