I agree with you about the dictionary. Always a priceless literary treasure.
Hooray my first meme! Did it, it's up. I couldn't limit it to one in each category- sorry!
Thanks for the tag...I'm workin' on it now!
*bites you* I'll put it up shortly, Shorty.
Katrice,
You and I were separated at birth.
Urchin,
Great job! Interesting choices.
Michael,
I'm waiting. :)

Who you callin' Shorty, Missy?
I'm a tall person traveling incognito.
Oh, thank you for complying!!
I have to agree with the dictionary. I still enjoy reading it from time to time.
I really need to read The Little Prince. I don't know how I got by that one in school. It is on the list of must reads before the year is out. Thanks.
Roadkill Cookbook? Nice.
The Gentle Order sounds great too. Let me know what you think when you're done.
I need to find a way to keep a rolling book suggestion space on my blog. I'm pretty random. I love bargains, so I read what's cheap most of the time and I unfortunately have afforded myself far too little fiction.
I'll catch up.
Thanks! Feel free to do a "do-over" with your other accurate responses. :-)
Lex,
But of course. My pleasure.
These days I buy most of my books at the library book bay. I compile a wanted list from various book club mailings and then look for them there at a few bucks a pop, no s&h. And I love Amazon.com. too.
I confess I made up The Roadkill Cookbook. :(
Lex,
I just added pictures to this naked post.
I wonder what pops up in the Pop-Up Potty book. I'm just saying...
haha - enlightment for dummies would be super useful! :)
Lee,
Yes, I've often wished for such a book.
Thanks for coming by!
thanks very much for visiting and all the comments! i'm glad you are enjoying all of my absurdities! it's so nice to find people who have the same senses of humor, you know? i'll be back to read you!
Lee,
Thank you for coming back! I love the way you write and enjoyed my play session in both your blogs.
...Maybe angels using toilet paper?
I love the Little Prince! :) M
Lex,
They would have us think so. I dunno. What do YOU think, Angel?
My heart,
Me, too!! The book is charming and so very wise. I especially love the parts about the rose and the fox. Well, all of it really. It's a very cherishable book.
