Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 10, 2012

When did we stop reading for leisure?

I started a paperback book three weeks ago and I’m noteven half way yet.

When I woke up and tried to pick up where i fell asleep, I found I dreamed a better book than I was reading.

@FlyerTom: Use a bookmark. You won’t lose your place, and you NEVER have to worry about the battery.

At least she is a real Plugger. A true Plugger would never use a Kindle or Ipad or any new fangled device. Plus if a Plugger hates the book and everything it stands for they can burn it.

@ Elaine Mikesell: Seeing your name reminds me of the absolutely wonderfully tasty Mikesell’s potato chips from when I lived in Dayton, OH. Are you related? Please let them know that Illinois NEEDs Mikesell’s. No chip has ever compared. I particularly miss the marcelle chips and the barbeque ones.
