Half the fun about going to the library is walking along the shelves and browsing at the books in the hope of coming across a book that you’ve always wanted to read. Better still if it’s a new book and you are the first to get your hands on it! Ah, when it’s pristine new it’s so lovely to run your fingers along the pages and the faint smell of new paper waffing up one’s nostrils is simply intoxicating.
Anyway, I went on my weekly pilgrimage to the library and I scored a coup (at least I thought it was. haha!) yesterday. I managed to find two David Sedaris books–Me Talk Pretty One Day and Holidays On Ice. I also found a book which I had wanted to read from a long time back but had forgotten all about it until I saw it on the shelf yesterday. It’s Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast.
So I stepped out of the library a very happy gal. 🙂
