I tend to read articles more than books, and I think it's what you said about yourself: because I have so many started and unfinished books, maybe there is satisfaction in actually finishing articles.<br /><br />I've been reading <I>The Ambassadors</I> since fall, haven't picked it up for a few weeks. It's ok, I know it's there, waiting. One problem is I get 6 <I>months</I> to check out a book from our university library. That doesn't help.<br /><br />Anyway, I love to buy books, I'm just not as good at actually reading them long term. And sometimes I get what I need/want in the first chapter!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-88267627240936374762009-04-17T10:10:00.000-04:002009-04-17T10:10:00.000-04:00Jazz: we have a rather successful though small boo...Jazz: we have a rather successful though small bookstore that has a good reading/lecture series and hosts breakfasts with authors and book signings, which Indigo doesn't do much of anymore.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-3101827464489672982009-04-17T09:54:00.000-04:002009-04-17T09:54:00.000-04:00VS - I used to do that too.

I'd go there sometimes and Elizabeth would ask whether I was looking for something, to which I'd reply that none of the books I had at home felt right. She'd always find me some cool book by an obscure bulgarian author which was exactly the perfect read. The woman (and her clerks) had a gift.<br /><br />When they opened a Renaud-Bray (a french equivalent to chapters) I'd browse there and bring my order to Elizabeth. Of course, eventually the big store got the better of them. Again. *sigh*Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644896022880634803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-85911863670972370322009-04-16T23:13:00.000-04:002009-04-16T23:13:00.000-04:00P.S.
