Books are beautiful and wonderful. Try as I might, I don't read them often enough. I buy books almost constantly, and put them on a shelf. Then they sit there, just minding their own business, not being read. Stupid books.
I LOVE YOU BOOKS!
My books are special and wonderful, but they aren't as beautifully bound as these: Hand Bookbindings: Plain and Simple to Grand and Glorious.

For the record, as per our agreement, I pulled off my copy of "Good Omens" from my shelf, to lend you on Tuesday. A quotation from the beginning, to wet your appetite:
"Firstly, that God moves in extremely mysterious, not to say, circuitous ways. God does not play dice with the universe; he plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players (i.e. everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules and who SMILES ALL THE TIME." (T. Pratchett & N. Gaiman)

Wow. That was quick! I see you talked to Ben! :D
You're a fantastic madman. It would have taken me a year to figure out how to do all that. Thanks so much!!
