When I lived in Africa, my boss and his wife had a huge book collection and let me borrow whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and I read all kinds of stuff that I might not have otherwise (including non-fic). It was awesome, and helped keep me sane so far from home.<br /><br />-VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-13764816758306412492012-05-23T08:58:30.970-04:002012-05-23T08:58:30.970-04:00http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086125034656318968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-17097540786027134652012-05-23T08:37:41.864-04:002012-05-23T08:37:41.864-04:00Mary-that is me, too--I am trying to keep up my pa...Mary-that is me, too--I am trying to keep up my pace so I breathe hard.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-89870615356459903692012-05-23T08:36:23.538-04:002012-05-23T08:36:23.538-04:00Trisha-it IS, isn't it?
