Today, 22 July 2009, is the birthday of my better half.
We were newlyweds when I took this photo. She's reading the book that I gave her for her birthday in 2004. A real bookworm, a passionate reader, that's my Aileen.

10:40 am, China Street, Lancaster. I saw Leslie walking along reading at that corner being him. I asked him if I could follow along and take his picture while he continued on his way, and he kindly agreed. He is reading 'Happier: Can You Learn to Be Happy?' by Tal Ben-Shahar.

The lonely Reader
Rinpoche said: “I was reading for many years. Many books. I was writing for many years.
Many books. Only to find and to leave one message for my next incarnation: Freedom and inner peace are possible. When I read this truth for the first time, I did not believe it. I could not imagine I would be able to accept me being aggressive – like my father.” He laughed and continued: “Now I can accept my unjustice.”

“Good Times Together“ by Grace E. Storm, illustrated by Vera Stone Norman, Lyons and Carnahan 1936 and 1940.
I found this in a folder of ancient homework and handouts from grade school circa 1972. Teachers would hand these out and make the students read them QUIETLY so they could cadge a smoke in the teachers' lounge.
10:50 a.m. Journey Social, King Street, Lancaster. I asked her permission (you can see my card in the photo). She's reading one of my favourite books, Philip Pullman's Northern Lights. She says a friend recommended it. She is right at the beginning; I told her I thought almost anyone who read the first chapter would go on to read the novel.
