Like you I have books strewn in every room too. Three years? Now that's a good nap!

I am with you and DL Finn. The snails naps explain how they can survive drought so well.

When I first met Miriam and was invited to her house I saw books everywhere. Regardless of any other charm she might have had, I knew I was on to a good thing! I would never need to worry about abibliphobia. When I entertained the giddy thought of her books combined with mine waves of ecstasy washed over me. Sometimes you just have to get your priorities right! The books got married right along with us! Joined together until death do us part! Unlike the snail we don’t snooze for three years. There are too many books to be read!

Again, I did not know either one :)

Jeanie said...

Well, I have books everywhere so does that make me an abibliophobiac?

Birgit said...

Oh I would have that phobia if I didn't have books a d magazines everywhere.Thats a phobia I never want to know. That's why the snail seems to have no stress.

Even if you don't have physical books there's always stuff to read pantry labels, and of course, tons of stuff on the Internet including access to libraries. The Gutenberg Project has access to works in the public domain. Free and all online.

Denise, Yay for strewn books AND a three year nap does sometimes sound tempting. LOL. xo

Yay for strewn books. Good thinking on the drought thing, my friend.

I love this, David. It warms my heart and makes me smile.

Sandra Cox said...

Sandra Cox said...

Christine said...

Fun with words!

Andrew said...

I don't like the word strewn but I do have unstrewn books in every room except the bathrooms.
I never knew about snails hibernating.

Sandra Cox said...

;) Glad you think so, Christine;)

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, So your books are in their place of residents:)
I didn't either about snails. Didn't realize they could live that long. Take special care.
