Reading books is not 
productive 
in that way.
Actually I don't read that much
It's just that, without "friends", $$, car, no energy or cash to much of anything else
The local bookstore employees have not yet bothered me.
A lot of the books I read are teen level or below
"Price of duty" was teen fiction.
Just finished a book "ghost". Jason Reynolds
13 year old Castle joined the Defenders track team. Castle stole shoes from the store.
But usually too lazy to read books
Just surf internet

Are you the person here who likes buying different editions of the same few novels? I have the Norton Critical Edition of this (the slim one--later I saw a thicker one). I love the essays and painting used for the cover. The novel, of course, is brilliant. My own little notes are written all over mine.

Yes! That's me! I have a shameful number of editions of Brontëana including their novels and biographies. I only have one copy of Frankenstein and this is my first time reading it. I'm reading the original 1818 edition. I love reading the academic essays and notes as well. Kortie recommended that I read a biography of Mary Shelley's life and that was fascinating too! I used to write in my books in Uni so those ones are full of marginalia but I don't write in them any more. Mine are full of sticky tabs with notes exposed.
(PS I like Norton Critical. I have several of their publications as well

)You must have an amazing collection. What is the Mary Shelley biography called?
Yeah, Norton Critical is fantastic. I love their editions of the Old and New Testaments, among many others.

The Shelley bio was called Daughter of Earth and Water (Noel Gerson). Fascinating info, although nothing was cited so I found the style a bit odd. I'm going to invest in Mary's private journal publications as well.
