So true, just love reading! And now back to my book..............
'Knowledge by osmosis..." I should paint this in four feet letters on my daughters' bedrooms.

I like the comment about books stopping bullets. My grandfather's life was saved at Gallipoli when a bullet hit the bible he was carrying in his backpack.

Fact - as much as I love my technology, nothing beats a book.
Currently reading ' Affinity' by Sarah Waters and disappearing into the book!

Many thanks
