Read With A Friend
Sometimes I think it’s fun to read a book with a friend and discuss the plot or the storyline. It’s always nice to hear another opinion.
I found a book written in the 1940’s by Hitler’s Doctor. I can’t put it down! It’s amazing what piece of history you can find in a used book store.
You can truly find rare books here! The owner is a very intelligent man. Go in and strike up a conversation with him! You will learn more in that conversation than sitting through an hour lecture in school. That man reads!

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out.
I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
