glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a passion for books It is 1:35 PM Friday afternoon here in West Michigan. It is 83 degrees and sunny today. I volunteered at the Book Nook today from 10 AM till 1 PM. No one came in the store to buy anything so I sat and basically read from a book titled, 'Mystic Chords Of Memory: The Transformation Of Tradition In American Culture' by Michael Kammen.
