I haven't read the book but loved the movie over and over again.<br /><br />The oldest book I have is a bible from the late 1800's. It's very fragile and the one my grandmother was given to comfort her while she lay in a hospital waiting to die. She had to sneak reading it because she was in Nazi occupied Austria. Long story short she didn't die there but dedicated her life to finding God. She was the first to get baptized and my hero.Lisa @ Pulsipher Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686398412250014659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040301316924725850.post-59808794367707122942009-06-13T02:18:31.547-07:002009-06-13T02:18:31.547-07:00Wow!

In fact, until just a couple of years ago, I had a book going at all times, and to be perfectly honest, I went through a period of time where I read Gone With the Wind at least once a year.<br />My oldest book is a dictionary from my Great great great grandfather. If I were home I would look at the copyright date.....<br />Now, I wish I had more time to read.mCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252684152629825538noreply@blogger.com
