Sometimes they happen to be a bit disconcerting, especially if they don't happen to match with our line of thoughts!:-) <br />But again as you say if its within the family, then its a great way to pass on ones personal observations and interpretations, which might or might not always be concurrent with those of the future holder of the book, but still small comfort that we would be establising a connection of some sort, even in our absence.(phew!a long winding sentence :-) )Vaidegi Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856736970037809165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467418500056883985.post-1253057562346157952012-04-04T17:22:09.891+05:302012-04-04T17:22:09.891+05:30mh:

I am strangely tempted to read his scribbles on the maupassant. :)<br /><br />Your words reminded of something that hadn't struck me hitherto - if D comes to love these books as much as i do, some day she would be reading my scribbles, no? <br /><br />S:<br /><br />Lucky you that he does. <br />I haven't read Seth's latest.
