A bonus, albeit diminishing in frequency is if you get others notes on the side of text- preff in a poetry book. I love reading what other people make of something. I bought a book last year from a second hand bookshop called Lake Wobegone Days (Garison Keller), the book is supposed to be excellent. I bought it, however as i was seduced by a dating made in pencil - 10th September 1991. Also inside, (and the biggest gift of all) was a  uni shopping list, handwritten and still there after all this time. Pens, notepads, new socks, deodorant. I loved seeing this little bit of someone else's history, and enjoyed wondering whom it belonged to and what they had become.I quite like cutting into something like a piece of fruit and knowing that i am the first person to see its innards. Lol sounds daft but sometimes as i pop it in my gob i feel sad that i will always be the only person too. That pattern and colour is so unique it seems wasted.I like asking Jonno about his childhood, what games he liked to play, food he ate etc. I could (and do) listen for hours about when he was little. I find it fascinating.I love creaky stairs, ours is the second from the top. It feels like home.</blockquote>
