Beautiful list on one of my favorite passions My favorite book quote is “when i have money, I buy books. If there is any left over I buy food” Erasmus

My biggest problem is trying to decide which book to read next (and where to put them all). My library has over 3000 books (at least). It pains me to not be able to reread my favorites as I did growing up, but I guess I’m taking the path less traveled

Yeah I agree, this blog is awesome, way superior to most, and I know tons of people who read it regular. I love how you cut to the heart of stuff and don’t confuse us with PC crap, but just tell it like it is in ways people like me can understand. I don’t always agree with you but mostly I do. I think if you were my teacher back in the day I might be more successful now cuz you would of held my interest. Even now, you make me feel smart all the time and I appreciate that alot. Also I love the Spangler science stuff you talk about all the time on Twitter and here. Ordered some stuff from there for the boys and they got Blue Ribbons that year.

I think your blog is the best on the internet. I wishyou posted several times a day. Like the other commenter up there, I print off your stuff and share it at church and we use it often for discussion. You just know so much about so many things! No wonder your blog is so popular. I just love it. Thnks.

Regarding #7: I think Neal and I have that exact decorating issue. In fact, we need more book shelves (although the people who helped us move in July said that we need fewer books. Meh, what’s a sore back when you’re carrying so much knowledge and imagination to its new home?) Actually, I suppose saying that we need more wall space and less furniture to have room to put more shelving in would more appropriate for our situation. :~)

Thanks for so many great reading quotes, Mamacita!
