I liked the Snoopy cartoon yesterday so much, I also noticed a second one I’d like to share with you.

Charlie Brown is bent over, writing on his stationery at his table. He writes: “Dear Pencil Pal, Have you had a nice summer?”

In the next panel he continues: “I like to read, do you? I am very fond of books.”

Charlie Brown continues in the third panel: “I can always enjoy a good book. I have always been the sort of person who enjoys reading.”

And finally Charlie writes: “When I have nothing else to do, I read.”

I’m sure many feel that way. But really I do like to read, history, novels, magazines, and I used to like the newspapers. Alas, no more. Now it’s email and websites, along with the bound book (or 2 or 3) I always seem to have nearby!

Abigail Adams knew that John loved to read. He had a large library. When the purchased a new home in Boston, she asked if he would move all his books. He agreed he wouldn’t attempt to move all his books, only those he new he needed.

Abigail responded: “You books you don’t need have yet to be printed!”
