Another Bibliophile

I found this while searching through Flickr this morning before class. When I saw it I almost thought that someone had found one of my old books and threw a picture of it up on the web. And then I realized...



My people are out there!
Yeap, they're out there frequenting notebook bars and secretly watching notebook websites. Before ya know it they'll have to tell their S.O. that they're carrying a notebook with them.

I wonder if we'll have to put up small stickers of a notebook on the windows of buisnesses to show that 'Notebook People' welcome here.

Maybe a Notebook Pride Parade?

Ok, I didn't mean to inspire you that much.

Rainbow books...ugh. That's a pain that could only be matched by the display of a painting of a unicorn with wings and a rainbow on velvet.

Yeah, that kind of evil.

There are some things, some symbols (like a rainbow book) that mortal man wasn't meant to see.

From a conversation with The Fish:

"Well...You know mom...I've always had notebook tendencies."

"But Honey...Have you tried...NOT...carrying a journal?"

That and new web sites spring up from the Religious Right, (that's "right" as in direction, not correctness,)

"The only book you should carry is GODS book!" Don't write your OWN ideas. Read GODS!"

"There is a REASON that GOD did to Alexandria what he did to Sodom!"

"Repent now! Burn your Journals! For truly the last days are upon us! For it is written in Revelations that the curs-ed of the earth shall take up pens, and like the tongues of serpents, shall spew forth the venom of self-expression..."

The allegory is quite fitting, Tom ;-)

And-ah the people-ah shall come to know him-ah who travel-ah with-ah the most-ha unholy book-ah.

And-ah you shall-ah giveth them-ah no shelter. You shall drive-ah them from-ah the cities-ah. For the coming-ah of the Adversary-ah shall-ah be heralded-ah by He-ah who is-ah of the Book-ah.
