Greetings, and welcome to this unexpected post of the Reading Hermit With Dog blog! Due to an overwhelming collection of books of certain themes I've decided to add an extra post from time to time so as to include these titles. My regular posts on Tuesdays and Saturdays will continue as usual. :-)

Published for the Bicentennial The Spirit of '76, edited by Peter Lowell Beilenson and illustrated by Jeff Hill is, naturally, a very patriotic collection!

Old Age is Always 15 Years Older Than I Am, by Randy Voorhees is making more sense all the time. If you have reached 'that certain age' you should enjoy this, possibly to the point of laughing until you have tears in your eyes.

Yes, you have seen this before (maybe). It's also in the February 25, 2014 post, but, if you want to add a pithy comment to a letter, speech or card, this is the book for you! Quotations With An Attitude: a Wickedly Funny Source Book, by Roy L. Stewart. There are times when I've browsed through this book just to have a chuckle.

The Reader's Quotation Book: a Literary Companion, edited by Steven Gilbar is a delightful collection of quotes about books. Chapters include Re-Reading, Where to Read, Bookstores, and Books as Friends. It's an easy book to read just a little bit at a time.

I found a site of quotes about quotes! (http://www.quotegarden.com/quotations.html)
