Where did you get it?An amusing thing written on the first page by the previous owner studying the language…
Latin is a language
At least it used to be
It killed off all the Romans
And now its killing me
All are dead who ever spoke it
All are dead who ever wrote it
All will die who try to learn it
Blessed death they surely earn it.

I have a real addiction to old books depending on the subject.Random tangent:
There’s a book in my house about dogs that is to (my dad’s first name) dated 1924. My dad wasn’t born until 30 years later, considering those side of my (deceased) grandparents were born in 1915 and 1916! Lol
You should see my bedroom! LolI have a real addiction to old books depending on the subject.
I probably have close to 1,000 or so. Haven’t read many of them. Ope!Pretty much the only books I keep anymore are my antique books and Bibles. The current ones I read and usually donate.
Why have you not read many of them?I probably have close to 1,000 or so. Haven’t read many of them. Ope!
I just keep buying them. I need to really get down and start reading them- if that makes sense! I have hoarding tendenciesWhy have you not read many of them?![]()
I learned the hard way not to hoard every book. At one time I had so many I could fill a truck. It became oppressive. So if it new and read, I donate. The antiques I keep.I just keep buying them.

I’m probably the same way! I just need to carve out more time for reading!I learned the hard way not to hoard every book. At one time I had so many I could fill a truck. It became oppressive. So if it new and read, I donate. The antiques I keep.
Yeah sometimes it’s hard to relax and read. My mind can really be in multitasking mode at times where it hard to concentrate which does not make reading very satisfying.I’m probably the same way! I just need to carve out more time for reading!![]()
