Bob was becoming increasingly disillusioned with working in the corporate world, and the more we read the Bible and discussed it, the more I thought, "He really ought to go to seminary." The decision to actually become ordained, though, was one he didn't make till he was about halfway through his seminary career.<BR/><BR/>Mandarine, unfortunately, I still prefer the size, shape, layout, and weight of books over laptops, which is why I'm waiting for Apple to design a book reader that mimics the size, shape, layout, and weight of a book.<BR/><BR/>Stef, maybe someone with lots of money sitting around in a bank somewhere will read my book shop idea and make it a reality?Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-81382842346378595382007-10-15T13:37:00.000-04:002007-10-15T13:37:00.000-04:00Your bookstore sounds like heaven on earth :) As f...Your bookstore sounds like heaven on earth :) As for Horse Whisperer, I'm with you on that one.

Last winter when the temperature in the bedroom was around 55-60F, I even kept my hands below the covers and turned the pages with the mouse.<BR/>- but my dream-gadget to read (or watch DVDs) in bed would be a projector that projects to the ceiling, so I could read lying down: no need to change posture when sleep comes.mandarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413240094728405118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-29974596674197732902007-10-14T09:09:00.000-04:002007-10-14T09:09:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you are enjoying the Pullman books. I...I'm so glad you are enjoying the Pullman books. I knew you would! It sounds like there's an interesting story lurking behind your choice of the Bible as one of your significant books -- you mean your joint reading of the Bible has something to do with Bob deciding to go to seminary? <BR/><BR/>I love your bookish gadget!Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-37869712079392049462007-10-13T08:56:00.000-04:002007-10-13T08:56:00.000-04:00What a delightful feast of bookishness.

I love the idea of your bookshop, and the name is brilliant. If I lived anywhere near your bookshop you'd never be able to kick me out.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976147051582732043noreply@blogger.com
