Oh my! I really did not expect this. Thank you so so much! When I saw the transaction, I thought it was something completely different, and then I saw what it was. What a Christmas surprise, thank you so much again. Congrats also to the others.

I just want to say thank you also, again, for the opportunity that you gave us to think back about the impact of books on our lives. Some people will never read a book, and that is fine for them. Some might enjoy a casual read. But then there are us book addicts whose lives are fundamentally changed by books. What a time to be alive in.

I actually wanted my girlfriend, @urban.scout, to write something, I did not plan on writing something. But then as the week went on, I “fermented” some thoughts in my mind and I made the comment. So be sure that I will use some of the HBD to buy her some books, as she was pressing me to write something as she knows the impact books had on my life.

I can only say thank you again.

I really enjoyed your "fermented" thoughts hahaha, you have a knack for writing I could tell.

Amen to that, there are so many ways in which someone could read today...it is incredible, information is everywhere we are blessed really!

It is very sweet that you want to buy your girlfriend some books, a man is always happier when he makes his woman happy!

Thank you so much! I have always been writing, my whole life. I started with English, then I moved to my home language (Afrikaans) and now with Hive and my PhD, I am back to English.

So true, it is sometimes bewildering just how much there is out there. Doing my PhD, I am reading 2-4 articles per day, and this is not even touching the vast amount of literature there is on my topic. So much goes unread in life, which is sad because spend so much time producing those works.

For sure, I know this to be true! I will make a post about the books we bought, they will arrive in a couple of weeks time, I think. Thank you so much again, you really gave us the best Christmas present, as books are really expensive and we used most of our expendable income on gifts for family and not on ourselves.
