>> "If the Beast gave me a library like he gave to Belle, I'd marry him too." -- Aya Ling <<

My version was, "Okay, now I love you." Because first, anyone with that big a library can't be all bad; and second, paying enough attention to realize that you court a bookworm by giving her tons of books shows some serious relationship potential.

One time we were at a con, and someone was unloading the library of a fan who had passed away. I think they were a dollar for hardbacks and a quarter for paperbacks. We bought boxes of books. It was beautiful. I stamped mine with a little autumn leaf so I'd remember which they were. Julie's books.
