Stories of the Imagination Tend to Upset People Without One...

I like to read, that is to say I read all the the time. In the car(not while driving), in the bathroom, before I sleep, just about any time that I have a book and time in which to read it. This can be an expensive habit, your normal paperback is about 8$ and  even the discount rack is about 5$ for the overstocks and other cool books that people for some reason don't want. Since I cannot afford to buy books every time I finish one I re-read the books I own over and over... 

I have some books that have been read more times than I can count, and it leaves them in unenviable condition...

The book above I only bought last year...
This one I have had for ten years, note the curling of the spine and loosely hanging on cover...

I know what your thinking, wow you have weird taste in books!

You might also be wondering, why don't you go to the library? I did. I read them, all of the authors that I like available. That was that, they have millions of books but a great many of them are one run fiction and just not good, not good at all. I like a specialized type of book... and my local library only has so many. I hope that one day they will have a library full of sarcastic, saterical, humorous novels...but not holding my breath...

So point is I am reading a book this week that I've read ten times and am enjoying it very much anyway...but the cover is going to fall off for the second time.

The sun has come out this week and Harper has been having a great time getting outside again...
I am Captain Harpy than you very much!
If that's not adorable to you, you probably have a condition that causes you to be nauseated by adorabiosity.
