I sometimes use a magnifying glass to get a closer look at the bookcases pictured in magazines.

LOL!

I thought I was the only one that did that. ;-) Too funny.

I read a lot (usually average a few books a week), and where books are concerned, it's more fiction than not. Currently reading C.S. Lewis' Perelandra. I love his writing...

I love CS Lewis. He and I share Nov 29 as our birthday. Although he is MUCH older than I. ;)
I am currently reading Screwtape Letters for about the 5th time. My husband and I are in a local CS Lewis study group.

How funny about the magnifying glass I thought I was the only one who did that. lol I read a mix fiction and non-fiction. At present in addition to Screwtape, I am reading Heresies and How to Avoid Them: Why It Matters What Christians Believe by Stanley Hauerwas, Ben Quash, and Michael Ward. Next I have a couple books about Islam.

Why use a magnifying glass? Next time you are watching a movie and are bored by what is on the screen, start looking at the books on the bookshelf in the scene.

I spotted a copy of Zotz! (later adapted by William Castle) in an Ed Wood film and a thick book on Windsor McCay in one of the 1990s Woody Allen films.
