FREEDOM!!!

I finally escaped from my mobile prison. Apparently, my temporary owner forgot that I was in his possession. Fortunately, someone was kind enough to send him a few letters to remind him that I was missing in action. I was surprised to find out that I was worth $17.00. I think we can all agree that the information and memories contained in all books fall under the "priceless" category. I'm not sure how a library would apply that kind of fine. The patrons are probably thankful that a lost book does not equal eternal debt.

On a more relevant subject, now that I have access to the library again I can continue my quest of education and knowledge. Wish me luck, dear readers, you have no idea how hard it is to type with no hands or fingers.

Internet Radio

Good news! I've recently discovered that I can stream music to my cell phone via a program called Pandora. As you can imagine, this will ease the boredom of being locked in a car. Aside from the music, the best thing about Pandora is that it is free. I have heard of people using the internet to steal music. This is a great, legal alternative to that unscrupulous practice.

I think I hear someone coming, so I'm going to turn my phone off. Wish me luck - my battery is running low.

Hanging Out

Recently, I've been hanging out under the front seat of someone's car. We drive all over town together. Unfortunately, no one seems to be paying too much attention to me. It has been a couple of days since I left the library and I'm worried that I have been forgotten. Maybe this lucky patron just likes their books to be good and warm before they read them. More updates on the way.

The best patron

I was once checked out by the nicest woman. She treated me with the respect and care I think all books deserve. She used a book mark to keep track of her place instead of dog-earring my pages. Actually, she used the due date receipt so that it reminded her of my return date. She also kept me away from liquids and drippy food. I was never used as a hot pad, stepping stool, door prop, bug swatter, or flower press. It made my spine tingle to know that someone cared about the state of my well-being. After two weeks, she returned me to the library where I awaited the next lucky patron who would enjoy my thought provoking innards.

Where to begin?

For the sake of anonymity, I will not be revealing my title. I know how frustrating it can be to wait and wait for a particular book just because someone happened to mention it on Oprah or some such. Having said that, I am a huge advocate of anything/anyone that gets people to read.

I never claimed to be the smartest book (I'll leave that to the 100's), just a popular book.
