Bibliophiles don’t bite

September 22nd, 2008 by Malcolm

Over at Lifehacker, they’re offering advice on how to ungeek to live by suggesting ways on reading well.  I’m sure most of the literate people that read the Fidra Blog, have various methods to choose books, their own favourite bookshops that they frequent, and can find time in busy schedules to read them, but one bit of advice appealed…

But more importantly, find your local bookstore owner. Give her a hug.

Vanessa, you have been warned.

    Please don’t hug me. Unless you know me that is. Generally, I don’t like strangers touching me and tend to react badly to it. So please – no hugging the bookshop owner.

    I don’t like strangers touching me either.
    I shall, instead, encourage Malcolm to hug Vanessa.
