You're welcome! And that's a great idea, literally rolling in the books one covets. :)

YOU ARE THE BEST, SIMON! THE BEST! :)

:) ... and that manoeuvre is courtesy of an ongoing joke my father and i had before he passed away. he had a coin collection and he would pull it out now and again and sit on the edge of his bed and lay out all his coins and examine them with his magnifying glass and wipe them with a cloth. to come upon him with his hoard was always a cue for comedy, so i'd tease him about how he was rolling in money when our backs were turned. it then struck me how nice it was to roll in things you like, so i've been doing it ever since! i had a penchant for rolling on people in snow drifts for a while ("the steam roller") but i can't think of the last time i did that. :)

I think Cabell would appreciate you rolling in his books. Especially if he got to watch.

i forgot to mention that you have to say "roll, roll" when you are rolling. essential. :P

and alas for me that i met cabell too late. :)

Great story about your dad!
