We all pray for his full recovery soon.

Nice... it's unfortunate you couldn't keep all of your dad's books. It must've been hard to let go of some of them. I hope you kept the best ones.

What I do is that I download the ebook version of a book or series - read it, and if I liked it enough, buy the paperback version. Hopefully, by 5 yrs or so (I wish - would be possible if I lose the habit of losing my books) I could rival your dad's collection.

books are harsh the moment you start to read them they let your imagination soar and fly.

I like to listen to Y101. And I admit I was sad to hear Jack's situation. Anyhow, let's try to keep the lights on!

Thank you to everyone in the country and all over the world for tuning in! The response is overwhelming and we are very thankful for the continuous support you've expressed for Jack. Til next Friday's Gold Rush. Only on Y101. WE got your back, Jack!

thea, will PM you.

sorry for the OT Ron. ^_^

bro sev, what titles man of the Darkover series ang kuwang pa nimo? I'll ask them kung naa ba sila.

thea, do they have books by marion zimmer bradley? wa na jud dri sa cebu ay, and it has been almost like an obsession for me to complete her darkover books lol

In my neighborhood, there's still one locally-owned bookstore left. It's one of my favorite places. Time stops when I'm there. It's a magical universe, a realm all on its own.

I am into shopping books whether it is old, new or second hand, but still I find reading these thing a form of stress relieving remedy. Wish to visit your place.!

Unfortunately the library's gone. We transferred when my father died. But his books are still with us. Alive and well but we donated a quarter of it since we couldn't take care of all of them anymore.

You should tell me what's going on over at the office. It didn't sound so good, judging by your comment on the event photo.

yeah, now i have a full shelf at home. problem is, haven't gotten around to reading the new ones i bought. those times when i could spend a lazy sunday in some cafe reading the entire day are apparently over...

the office? growing but getting boring coz delle doesn't have you to pick on anymore hahahaha. wish you'd come back... add some color, errr, blacks to the drab office days lol

Try carrying pocketbook versions. That's what I usually do. But then again we all have different preferences. The fact that you can appreciate a physical manuscript is great enough, in my opinion
