Libraries are always discarding books and I am always collecting them.
Sometimes I bring them home to read.
Sometimes I bring them home because I can't bear to see them abandoned like that.
Sometimes I bring them home, tear them apart and re-use them.
I can't read French, but Madam de Sévigné's book of letter's called to me - so I brought her home, tore out her back pocket and got an idea.
