    Man do I enjoy reading books...not just one but two at a time...I opened this history book today and was engulfed in all the action the book has to offer.
    Heres a pic I took of the book

    Poem about books

    One alone cannot make two,
    But two alone can tally three.
    If some find sums enough to do,
    Some find some their ecstasy.

    Yet do not add unless you love,
    For greater sums require more,
    And though in proof might pleasant prove,
    In life might prove a lifelong chore.

    Historians ought best beware
    Of multiplying much too soon.
    While two might err, far more must bear
    What didn't add up one afternoon.

    So, anyone cares to share their best moments with "books"?

    Sure. When my sister had toothache, right, and I read her dostoevskys notes from underground the part where he talks about how people are just moaning out their pain to others and are enjoying it. That they enjoy toothache a certain part---and I sort of made her mad, that is probably my best moment with a book.

    Then again, there's the time I was reading Nietzsche's ideas of women to some friends, and they are like "that's the cuss out women book." The book you hand to them and they crap. These are my moments with "books", but they aren't too special, just un-special.

    I love to read books, i recently read an "unauthorised" biography of Guns N' Roses. One of my favourite books though is the Asterix and Obelix series, they're brilliant!

    I love Asterix and Obelix! sadly, the racial references mean that I can't share them with my neice and nefew; which is really too bad. It's a great source of historical info about the time period.

    and the OP's photo looks like cleavage in a cocktail dress
