Another imaginary conversation by (me!) Sandra, tvgp
Good thing, -imagination, yes.. How else could I talk to Helene hanff this morning..
I positively ache with the desire to underline and highlight.. To write in the margins of this book! People of the book..
But it is from the library.
-I have a thing I wrote somewhere in this blog of mine..
About how,
Reading a book without a pen is like taking a vacation without a camera.
"..and it is one of many things that endeared me to you Helene..
How... How much you enjoyed used books exactly for that reason.. To see where/what someone else had written..
-that the writing, the highlights.. They weren't considered -damage- to the book..
It added..
(We are having lunch together.. Peppered salame sandwiches)
I think there should be a section like that at the library.. I already know every counter argument and so won't hold my breath, but..
My God! I just want to take a highlighter out and have my way with this paragraph!
[She takes the book.. Reads with a smile. Picks up a highlighter and without any hesitation goes over the exact sentences I would highlight if I owned the book and then hands it back to me and takes a bite of her peppered salame sandwich]
"Thank you" I say with a smile of my own, "I accept"
