Lost In A Book.

Goldfinch60

I picked up a book,

I opened it,

In I strode.

Now,

Nobody can find me.

    A fine write Gold. Know what you mean. I don't re-read many books. I've got one at the moment though. Some long words in it, but not hippo-wotsit! I mean hippo.... you know it!

    Oohh let's go to the Bodleian Library (Oxford UK). It's got 7 million books I think. Should take us 5 minutes to read them all then.

      Oxford is only about 45 minutes drive from where I live, I also went to college in Oxford back in the days of manuscript and quills.

      You read about 6 and half million of those books already then?!

      • Goldfinch60

        'Fraid not, I got lost in the first one I picked up!

        • orchidee

          But have we read millions of books, being ourselves millions of years old?!

          A superb short piece - and so true. In a bizarre way it puts me in mind of Rachel Whiteread's Holocaust monument in Vienna - a library without books - I've just written a poem about her work.

            Thank you Michael.
            I do not know Rachel Whitereads monument, I will have to look her up.

              I have been lost inside one a few times myself, so comfy there. I know exactly what you mean.

                Nice visual to go with your poem! Your poem reminds me how I feel when I read. (okay I use a kindle!) Good one!

                  Books are books no matter how they are read, thanks Christina.
