There has never been a time I have not chosen to surround myself with books. Books are a mighty fortress.

They keep out the stupid people.

Actually... books, they repel the stupid people.

Very very true.

We are a reading family. My husband and I always have books at hand. I bought three yesterday. My adult children are even more avid about books. When they were kids, a trip to the book store was costly, but we were glad to see them reading. My parents, in their 80s, read constantly.

Well said. I can't imagine a life without books.

I am so grateful to the people who write them. They have transported me.

I like to always have a book checked out from the library. Just one, I’m not greedy.

I am very greedy, I get 5 at a time (all that fits in my bookbag). I can’t stand the thought of running short of books!

I would be lost without books. I count some as best friends.

But they close in the room and you have to keep them somewhere after reading.

Happiness is a book-lined room with a good chair and a small side table with a lamp.

It has always been the case for me.

And large quantities producee a scent of soothing and comfortable words, in whatever order we and our chosen authors wish to explore them. A brittle incense that speaks of time and possibility, at our leisure and with impunity of consequence.

Beautifully said.

I was an "under the covers with a flashlight" kid and still happily read in bed 75 yrs later.

Stupid people can write books, often with the help of a ghost writer.

melastorm.bsky.social•110 days ago

But I don't read those books.

fintanz.bsky.social•109 days ago

Lucky you, I have to read wildly to work out which authors are intelligent. And some stupid writings can be entertaining.

….. or at least slow them down and confuse them.
