These days, there are so many ways to procure books. Let's talk about some.
You can walk into a bookstore and buy one.
You can visit a website and buy one, and they will mail it to you.
You can listen to a book on tape, or CD, or mp3.
You can get a book from the library.
You can get a Kindle or a Nook or an iPad and download a book.
I, however, like to do things my own way. Recently I've been reading The Poisonwood Bible. It's from the library. And it's SO good that I decided that during my lunch time picnic on the grass outside our office building, I would somehow spill my bowl of tomato soup all over the book, making it impossible to return to the library. I know, right? I'm such a trendsetter. Move aside, new version of Kindle. The ease of carrying around thousands of titles in one little device can't possibly compete with food stained library books. No way.
Let me know if you need any more tips on how to be cool. Because I obviously know what's up. All those dental assistants going to their CARS during lunch, while I was mopping up tomato soup from the grass and blotting pages of the book with paper towels? They are way jealous.
Also, I have some thoughts about dental assistants that may be offensive to some. If anyone reading this is/was/wants to be a dental assistant, let me know. Because then I will not share my thoughts.

oh my gosh, Erin! What a great idea. I will have to bring tomoto juice? or soup? with me next time I am reading a library book. That's the best idea ever.
but really the image of this happening, especially with the dental hygenists watching, is all too entertaining. thanks for sharing. it made my day.
one time i wanted to be a dental hygenist. and if i had, I would have been awesome. but i am not one, so feel free to say what you must.
What a bummer. Tomato soup is good though, so why not combine it with a good book, literally?
Hey. Don't knock Kindles. I am freakishly in love with mine. Freakishly. But really, I've done that to library books. A lot. My husband accuses me of doing it on purpose so I HAVE to buy them. He may be correct in that assumption....
