I found a great bookstore down here. They have these vintage books from like the early 1900's and the late 1800's. They smell awesome and the binding feels soo cool. I plan to spend a lot of time absorbing everything in that store.  :zoinks: :zoinks: :zoinks: :zoinks: :zoinks:
There is an author named Sloane who wrote Sci Fi in the late 1920s. He wrote an excellent book called The Edge of Running Water which is fucking excellent, I think the publication date is 1929. It is a worthwhile read Rage.

Hey thanks man. I'll see if they have it. And one I get my comp back and all, i'll go on cam and read a paragraph of it out loud and post it on here since you told me about it.  :indeed:

I'm jealous!  :laugh:  I love second-hand bookstores.

Holy shit its one of my favorite things. The only thing that can make a second hand bookstore cooler is if they have really old vintage, and/or a bookstore cat.  ;)

A bookstore cat would be really awesome, haven't yet found one in London.  I love the feel of those places.  I think I even posted a picture of my favourite bookstore here  :lol: Do you really like books then?

Yeah. I'm always either reading, surfing the web, working out, or learning a skill. Sometimes vidya gaems too.  :green: But I REALLY like books.

I love 'em  :laugh:  Have books in piles all around my room cause I'm running out of space.  Can't really resist the 50p basement in the shop   :green:

I bought a book about Taupo and another one about New Zealand Volcanoes and Earthquakes @ a used bookstore there because I figured it was unlikely to get such specific study books here. Used bookstores are cool.

... just made sure.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Picked up groceries for my mom & me, put groceries away, unloaded four 40lb bags of topsoil at mom's, mowed the lawn, and carted 3 loads of clothes downstairs.

Now, I'm on break.  :coffee:

I got tired just reading that.

I should be wearing glasses but haven't for quite some time for lack of health insurance. I'll get a new pair soon though.

You packed your bed?  :P

Me too.  The glasses I have now stopped doing their job ages ago.
