I keep trying to post comments here, but my spastic computer keeps closing. With any luck this one will stick. Thanks for your offer to link to my review of Nick Hornby.

Definitely not a hereditary trait -- I come from a long line of spine breakers. I never loan a book to my family, I give them my copy or buy them their own. I don't like to see the damage they inflict. :)Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-69950126437682539182010-04-11T14:38:59.529-07:002010-04-11T14:38:59.529-07:00Great review.

I have this book on my list for this challenge as well, sounds perfect for bookworms :) I´m curious about which type of booklover I´ll be categorized as, I don´t write in my books, but I have no problems with dogears or breaking the spine :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-6321915037409436942010-04-10T16:45:15.038-07:002010-04-10T16:45:15.038-07:00pussreboots -- I really enjoyed it, but I was defi...pussreboots -- I really enjoyed it, but I was definitely in the mood for it. Also, my friend Laura (see below) recommended it so highly that I went into it with positive thoughts. <br /><br />Laura -- I love the story about your carnal book loving friend! It inspires me to write in my books, although I am definitely in the courtly love camp myself.Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-55870017835476536782010-04-10T14:45:12.125-07:002010-04-10T14:45:12.125-07:00My copy of this book first belonged to my friend, ...My copy of this book first belonged to my friend, Josephine, who was exactly twice my age when I first met her. She writes in pen in all of her books. She underlines words she doesn't know, she makes little comments, she traces routes on maps, and on the very last page of every book she reads she signs and dates it and sometimes writes a short comment. It doesn't matter if it's a Miss Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623530213538794529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-49280212787321890532010-04-10T14:23:26.205-07:002010-04-10T14:23:26.205-07:00I read it in the days before I was book blogging. ...I read it in the days before I was book blogging.
