Bible Construction

[_msnobody]

I've written in my NIV [nearly inspired version] all over. I've even had a LDS missionary write inside the back cover. Of course, this was a hardcover.

I'm in the market for an ESV study Bible myself. It is a very good translation. I can't afford an expensive one, so I will probably get the hardcover.

I thought it was sort of ironic that it is available in "goat" skin rather than "sheep" skin.

Well ain't you da dandy!? From what era? Who/what rigid, frigid Victorian School marm beat such senslessness into yer uptight -- retentive little soul??

The major influence that formed my attitude is that I have never found anything interesting written in any book that I have found to be inscribed by a previous reader, whether borrowed from a library or bought at second-hand. I make notes from books as part of the way I earn my living, but I use slips of paper or do it direct onto my computer.

I hope at least that you don't write in library books, do you?

Like Geo. Washington, I cannot tell a lie...(Unless I have to :-) I have marked a very small # of Library books throughout my 70 years of reading... However, to me, in my books, marking is simply a part of reading. Always with the intention of getting back to it. Truthfully, I seldom do...but maybe, and that was/is worth remembering.

I was born long before "Sticky Notes" I do have them, but they're so inconvenient, and they don't personalize my property. Unblemished seems so sterile. Ya know what I mean?

How do you earn your living? Sounds interesting...
