I should be a writer or something. :-) If the mail was actually coming into Bolivia from the U.S. right now then you could send me a book in a manila envelope. Those boxes get expensive on both ends.<BR/><BR/>So, for now, we can just cling to the hope that one day we will be together again and we will do some major book store browsing. :-) <BR/><BR/>As for a surprising book... hm... "Pride & Prejudice" was more shallow than I thought it would be, so that is going in the negative direction. For an example of something I thought I wouldn't like but ended up liking I would have to say "Peter Pan". I thought it would be Disneyish but Barrie really hits some deep chords of human existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25144488.post-83094396461131320512008-09-22T17:47:00.000-05:002008-09-22T17:47:00.000-05:00PJ, yes, I know what you mean.By the way, I forgot...PJ, yes, I know what you mean.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I forgot to add at the end of that post the all-important question: What books surprised you?Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25144488.post-77667697655470518392008-09-22T17:38:00.000-05:002008-09-22T17:38:00.000-05:00Angie, the next time we manage to get together, we...Angie, the next time we manage to get together, we have got to go book store browsing!<BR/><BR/>Your comment makes me wish I could send you a box full of books.Rebecca Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842712720778708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25144488.post-80085010475682048952008-09-22T10:19:00.000-05:002008-09-22T10:19:00.000-05:00I especially love a book when it surprises me whil...I especially love a book when it surprises me while reading.

Surfing and sifting through Amazon (or any other .com for that matter) is just not the same as a fragrant visit to the library or a trip through time browsing a crowded used book store. Even the garage sale element is missing down here. Enjoy your bounty of treasures my friend and I will continue to live that part of my soul vicariously through you and your privileged children. <BR/><BR/><I>(I totally just figured out how to add a comment feed from Blogger users to my feed reader and I am so excited! So now I can sign in with my site identity and still be able to follow your comments threads. I feel like Sid on Ice Age when he discovers fire. In Spanish it is hilarious! He says, "Que brillante soy!")</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
