Books are the Bees...

...which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind. ~James Russell Lowell

I adore books and am fortunate enough to have a Kindle, which I must say is is great because I feel I can buy books and keep them without taking up to much space.....okay some might say its not the same as a heavy hardback, but I've decided if I feel the urge to hold a heavy old hardback I'll go to the library!

I was looking on Amazon for some holiday reads and have downloaded some of the classics, Lady Chatterley's Lover (which incidentally I have already read), The Iliad etc. Then it struck me, "What books should I read before I die??"....morbid I know but I just thought it's one thing that I could say I've done!!
