Oh my! I really did not expect this. Thank you so so much! When I saw the transaction, I thought it was something completely different, and then I saw what it was. What a Christmas surprise, thank you so much again. Congrats also to the others.

I just want to say thank you also, again, for the opportunity that you gave us to think back about the impact of books on our lives. Some people will never read a book, and that is fine for them. Some might enjoy a casual read. But then there are us book addicts whose lives are fundamentally changed by books. What a time to be alive in.

I actually wanted my girlfriend, @urban.scout, to write something, I did not plan on writing something. But then as the week went on, I “fermented” some thoughts in my mind and I made the comment. So be sure that I will use some of the HBD to buy her some books, as she was pressing me to write something as she knows the impact books had on my life.

I can only say thank you again.
