[Publib] Re: newsletter fun

[Anita Barney]

Sometimes I use a light-hearted quotation:
She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain. -- Louisa May Alcott

I cannot think of a greater blessing than to die in one's own bed, 
without warning or discomfort, on the last page of a new book that we 
most wanted to read. -- Lord John Russell  (OK, maybe not so lighthearted)

I've been reading in the tub since I was nine.  I've dropped books in 
the water, wrecked many, and may even drown someday reading in the 
tub.  What a wonderful way to go.  -- Joan Vass, in At Home with Books.

And maybe my favorite:  The covers of this book are too far apart. -- 
Ambrose Bierce
