I love to go to yard sales  and find a great old book to read. Some of my favorite books have been the ones that cost .50 or less. Recently, I found a classic, "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. I read this a long time ago but I never really enjoyed it until I found this book and read it slowly and actually could feel myself at the places he describes. AWESOME!

Vintage Thoughts on Modern Thinking is a random idea that came to me as I was working on some of the new books that I am ordering for the Pop titles section in the library. Many of the books are what most readers would call 'bubble gum reading" or "easy reading". I have always thought that this was a good thing because so many people read to escape into something new and exciting or old and enchanting. Why anyone would want reading to be a chore or a challenge is beyond me on so many levels. This blog was created today by me for the sole purpose of discussing, talking, and just plain exploring the modern world of teen/adult fiction reading with a bit of excitement, joy and vintage nostalgia. Oh what I am reading now....that would be "50 Shades of Grey" and "Wool". I will let you know what I think on my next blog.

TA-DA and good day :)
