But I've noticed lately that I sometimes return them to the library without finishing them. Not going to waste my time with something not fully engaging. I used to feel guilty about my choice of reading material (not intellectual enough) until I heard a very famous, intellectual person mention that he reads mysteries for the same reason I do--to read about an interesting locale or to learn about a culture/group. So, moral is, why feel guilty about our choice of reading? Enjoy what you enjoy! I'm afraid I also couldn't stay in for the long haul with 22 yards of weaving the same warp, although I admire the complexity of your design and your tenacity in weaving it. Again, we do what we enjoy! BTW, I had heard that Obama's book is really well-written. Maybe I'll actually branch into non-fiction occasionally. I read a lot, mostly fiction, mostly mysteries.

It's like running across and old flame and picking up again where you left off. Interests come, interests go. I don't think there's an amusements police. ;> I’m rediscovering my love of reading.

However, this cashmere-mohair I bought from a seller on eBay, murielleh. She doesn't seem to have any listed right now, but you might send her an eBay message and see if she still has any more.
