bookmarks

Have I told you that when I read a book whatever ends up being my bookmark stays with the book. Most of the time it is a receipt, an airline ticket or something like that, but every once in a while something interesting sticks with the book.

I am reading a book right now, "the Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper. So far it is good, it was a little slow start because it was written so long ago the style is very different than what I am used to so my mind had to figure the author out. But now it is good sailing.

I was reading, where I usually do a lot of my reading :), and moved my bookmark that I had with the book (a form from UNF). The page I slid it into was already occupied by a bookmark, one that belonged to the book that I didn't know about.

It was a sticker that has been folded in half, originally about two and a quarter inches square. The sticker has a hound dog on it with its ears pulled up with a caption that says, "I had my hearing tested!"

Now, for me it is a little adventure to come up with stories as to why this sticker was with this book.

This is why a bookmark must stay with its book...it is fun and they belong together.

Those are my thoughts.
