I read all the time and cannot contemplate a life without books.

Me either.

My cousin graduated from college 30 years ago.  He hasn't read a book since then--fiction or nonfiction.  He owns a handful of books but never has read them.  He started two but never finished them.

I read somewhere 80% of books are purchased by women.   ::thinking::
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

A little known fact--all those romance novels?  Same book, different covers.   ;D

Ain't that the truth!
"Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer." - Mark Twain
