This might sound strange and yes I know I’m a geek, thanks. I’ve just been putting the trades I finished reading on my shelf. Mostly parts of a series so they go with the prior books. Every now and again when I do stuff like this, just looking at the sheer amount of quality works I have on my shelf makes me happy. I don’t know how to explain it, its a good feeling and it makes me smile. I’m not even sure why I feel it. Whether it is pride that I own these books, happiness at having them to read or simply that they exist, I don’t know. Maybe all of the above. Perhaps it is a little acknowledgement that I like my own taste, a tip of the hat so to speak.
I’ve been thinking about something for a couple of days and trying to think of a way to explain it. I have as of yet not been able to think of one so I’m just going to tell you a simple story.
Once upon a time three guys go out to lunch together. The food is good and company better, so they have a nice lunch and they talk and laugh throughout. They finish their lunch and head back to the office. On route to the office they pass by a couple of colleagues presumably on their way out for lunch. However in this case, to simply say colleagues is leaving a lot out. One guy turns to the other and says ‘I know exactly what your thinking’.
That’s it, story over. It amused me and it continues to amuse me. I don’t know why, it just does. I really enjoyed lunch that day.
