Cutie I am glad your having a great time.

I wish I could have seen your enthusiasm in rl. It jumps of the screen at me as it is.

I've seen it. She bounces quite well, even after an all day drive.

Hehe

The chick from the Library of Congress wouldn't even look at me much less speak to me.

Got her number? I'm looking for a new sub to train.

the librarians from Oberlin and Brown told me to pace myself or I'd burn out.

I think they could be right. You might not see it now, but pacing yourself is always a good thing.


Oh, and I bet to get a date with you, all a guy has to do is smell like old books and stiff you on the dinner tab?

[snip] it takes far more than vellum to get a date with me. [/snip]

Like... leather (floggers, crops, etc.)... wood (paddles, etc.)... steel (handcuffs, etc.)?

Latin is fun, if you are a masochist.

My one tip is use it, use it a lot or you will lose it.

I can't conjugate a verb anymore other than "amo amas amat" and I forgot all declensions. In HS I read most of Virgil in the original, I was rocking the classics. Seriously, use it or lose it. But it *is* fun.

....A stunning little 1460-1470 BoH the size of a deck of cards with a little under 200 leaves. I wish I could have had more time with it. ...

Pictures! Did you get to take pictures? *drooling* Please?

Strangely enough, this conversation is starting to sound a little kinky. I don't know why, though.

Cause you're a pervert and your mind is in the gutter?

Not that I would know anything about any of those things.

[snip]I have a book fetish [/snip]

Me, too... but mine is to read (and often re- and re-re-read) them, preferably ones that take me away from this humdrum existence for a few hours. The big problem is my reading speed - I'll usually finish off a 400-page mystery or sci-fi novel in less than a day, and be 50-100 pages into the next.

My boss was gently suggesting yesterday that I should learn to speed read. While I'll openly admit I'm not the speediest reader in the world (Sigh- I used to be then motherhood and distraction and life took over), but I read to enjoy and comprehend rather than burn through things. At work I read as effeciently as possible, but I probably still take more time to research and catalogue something than he'd like... then again I think he rushes about too quickly and would greatly benifit from a bit more focus.

Good speed-reading often/usually increases comprehension; it's taught that way. I've been tested at high levels for both speed and comprehension/retention... but I know I slow waaaaay down when I'm reading for pleasure, especially if the author has "a way with words," simply because I want to absorb what I'm reading and/or how it's put. It's part of the learning process (communication) for me.

Yeah, me too. I can read a 350 page book in about two to three hours (uninterupted). I actually wish I read slower, because I go through books like candy. My dad used to take me to the library when I was visiting. I'd get a brown paper bag FULL of books, and be done with them about three or four days later. And then I'd be bored again.

Plus you only get the joy of reading a book for the first time. You can re-read them (and I do, until they are falling apart and I gotta re-buy them), but the books is always the best the first time, when you dont' know what's gonna happen.
