Some Old Books

I like collecting old books. I don't have a lot of them, because if I'm not careful, I'll be overrun. But when I see an old book that is especially humorous or interesting, I try to pick it up.

Mostly these books sit on my shelves, which is a shame. That's why this blog is here. Looking at my collection, I'm pretty darn sure that I have a year's worth of interesting/funny/strange selections to share, from hacky jokes to drawings of “Proteid foods” to hilariously dull diary entries like “ate dinner in cooking room.” I hope you enjoy these books as much as I do.

See more things I do.

  • I’m a few days behind, I know.  So here are a few days.
1. March: Wore Charles’s ring all day.  Henrick walked to history with me.  Walked down street.  Aunt Lillie gave us hot apple-sauce cake.  Joe came part way up with us.  Talked to him.  Lindbergh baby kidnapped.
2. March: 97% on history test.  Hannah Talked to before English.  Walking with me afterwards and Bill Cax got between us.  Assembly 3:05 - 3:30.  Mrs. Mitchell gave outline of senior play.  Saw Joe.  Miriam and I walked.  Spondidly (?) whistled to Zed.
3. March: Kept Janice while Aunt Lillie went to Board Meeting and Mother to Larkin’s.  Miriam came down.
