That's interesting because I tend to favor African American Literature. These books are filled with drama and sex. My life does contain a bit of both but I think if one viewed my selections without seeing me they would suppose I am black. You think? Or that I had some hot steamy ghetto love infused drama in my life. Neither is true. My music selection would have you lost. I like country, pop, R & B, with a tiny bit of rap. If I stumbled across that selection I would think that person is sooo well rounded.Raquel's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901679946676181304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-78634168351084451142010-08-03T23:09:56.072-04:002010-08-03T23:09:56.072-04:00Great post -- I think I'll click the "Sha...Great post -- I think I'll click the "Share" button and pass it along.

Often they'll have 8 or 10 books in that condition, and in my house, 8 or 10 others scattered about near various comfortable chairs, just in case they get an urge to commune with ideas and observations. They are a despair to housekeepers. <br /><br />But they sure do learn a lot. I suspect Bilbo is never more than 3 feet away from a partially read book.<br /><br />He also is a very good observer of human behavior. <br /><br />Eminence GriseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-3643063970598579332010-08-03T12:08:33.106-04:002010-08-03T12:08:33.106-04:00And while as individuals we can easily be bombarde...And while as individuals we can easily be bombarded with print material and music, it is now a totally private experience, to the point of shutting out the world with earphones. Interesting.<br />The only non-private act is the one that should be private where people talk aloud - usually very loudly - on their cell phones.<br /><br />PS I'm one of those who needs the feel of the book in my hands.<br />PPS My shelves are upstairs in my office and arranged alphabetically, according to author.
