Nope. I actually have nothing left from my childhood. I left some boxes of books and stuff when I left for university at 15 but my mother tossed them out after a month. I still miss the two boxes of Ace doubles. I never got a good explanation as to her action other than I was taking up space in the basement of a house I no longer lived in.

The PBM lives close to their birthplace.

poohbear_nc · 09-28-2023, 08:17 PM

Nope - half a continent away.

*I loved those Ace doubles - 25 cents!*

TPBM is a sky watcher.

DNSB · 09-28-2023, 11:53 PM

When it's visible.

The PBM reads multiple genres.

Sirtel · 09-29-2023, 04:02 AM

True.

PBM reads mostly to escape here and now.

Maggie May · 09-29-2023, 06:43 AM

No. Reading is pure relaxation for me. Love to escape into a good story though.

TPBM. still keeps in touch with some old school friends.

Yes! Although I see them very rarely now. I must make more of an effort.

TPBM has worn clogs (for more than 1 minute!)

Sirtel · 09-29-2023, 07:00 AM

True. I wore them a lot as a teenager (as they were in fashion here at the time) and sometimes wear them even now when I take out the trash. Not for a longer period anymore, though.

PBM has read genres in the past they're no longer interested in (children's books don't count).

DNSB · 09-29-2023, 02:30 PM

Yes. I used to read more mystery and western. Lost interest in most of the newer mysteries and the last western I read had more footnotes than a PhD thesis.

The PBM still reads some YA books.

Sirtel · 09-30-2023, 12:03 PM

Occasionally yes.

PBM started to read adult books before they went to school.

poohbear_nc · 09-30-2023, 05:59 PM

Oh yeah - taught myself to read and ran amuck in the bookmobile.

TPBM avoids elevators whenever possible.

DNSB · 09-30-2023, 09:05 PM

Only in one building. Otherwise, I like elevators.

The PBM walks at least 5km per day.

poohbear_nc · 09-30-2023, 09:33 PM

At least - usually 5 miles or more per day.

TPBM enjoys a beer with dinner.

cromag · 09-30-2023, 10:56 PM

Not these days. I still consider myself an "occasional" drinker, but it's mostly around the holidays, these days.

TPBM collects cookbooks.

Sirtel · 10-01-2023, 12:39 AM

No. I hate cooking and avoid it whenever possible. My mother collected them and I still have most of her cookbooks. I never use them, but I'm not going to throw them away either.

PBM likes multi-volume series.

DNSB · 10-01-2023, 11:56 AM

I do like some long series. I'm not quite sure what is meant by multi-volume series since, to me, a series pretty much requires more than one book/volume. Perhaps the re-issuing of a series in a set of omnibus editions such as the 2 volume SFBC version of the Belgariad?

BTW, I do collect cookbooks though more as ebooks now.

The PBM is a bit of a gourmand.
