I will never read my paper online, or get an ebook.. I want a bound copy in my hand, better yet a dog eared copy from a dear friend. I still have my fairytale book from my English Grandmother called Waterbabies. I have read it many, many times. I hate cell phones, I have one but never turn it on. I have never texted. I now have Facebook, and those applications people keep sending me drive me nuts. I can copy and paste with the best of them but I am tired of those newsy bits about myself. How many times can you write, "I didn't go to my prom." I think I was born in the wrong century and country. 18 century England would have been more my speed. And i hate microwaves.Sparroweyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06234944110874812577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11334369.post-53741197104063845832009-01-06T11:42:00.000-05:002009-01-06T11:42:00.000-05:00Here in Uppsala the old and revered Academic Books...Here in Uppsala the old and revered Academic Bookstore (founded 1834) will soon have a new CEO, recruited from the 'other side', the department stores. He claims he will not keep 'narrow titles' in stock anymore (like many Nobel prize winners) - he will only focus on what sells big time, like - you guessed it - Mr S King. It's so sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11334369.post-9770902935748420022009-01-06T04:47:00.000-05:002009-01-06T04:47:00.000-05:00Keep writing and they will come.

At least blogging for us regular folks gives us the illusion someone is "listening"...even if most of it IS self pity and drivel.MamaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253697246680831488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11334369.post-50570604843002526432009-01-03T21:54:00.000-05:002009-01-03T21:54:00.000-05:00So many great thoughts here.
