Posts to Ponder



Today is my work day and tomorrow is one of my Internet Free Days. So I'll leave you with these posts to ponder:

Today I found Me, My Shelf and I by Cipriano at Book Puddle in which she quotes Winston Churchill "If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them – peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye"...
