Do books have legs?

Books do not have legs. But they can grow them.

Was it one from a pair?

Nope just a singleton.

1. In a drawer in the bathroom.
2. In the freezer.
3. In a closet.
4. In a shopping bag.

Where were you reading? Have you left the house since then? What’s the book, how big is it, and is it yours?

Where are your glasses?

Sometimes they scurry a little.
I’m assuming you respect books too much to use it to prop open a window.
Laundry day reading?

It went outside to enjoy this perfect evening. Are you also missing a glass of wine?

^^ Got my glasses, checked outside, will look in the fridge….....

Try to remember where you were in the book, the last things you can remember reading. What interrupted you?

Ok. Proof positive – they do have legs! I just went into my bedroom and it was sitting on the bed in plain view. It was not there before! Something is playing tricks with me.

By the way, the book is The Plot Against America by Philip Roth. Devious, huh?

Jan dear, this is the sort of thing that you can expect from your evil twin. Even when it hasn’t been talking to mine.

@Jeruba Dang – how much we could accomplish if we didn’t spend half our time looking for glasses or books!

I have the books mostly tamed because I have several in progress at once and typically leave each one right where I’m reading it. I keep a pair of reading glasses at each location (take that, evil twin!). And I’ve taken to wearing my regular glasses on a cord around my neck. I don’t care how stupid it looks.

But I routinely have to search for my purse, my last prescription refills, and oddly placed grocery items, some of which I simply couldn’t have left where I ultimately found them. Sometimes I don’t actually locate the missing item until I’ve bought another one.

(Rem to self: Never use a credit card as a bookmark in a library book.)

So far I haven’t lost my car.

Are you too short to view the surface of your bunk penguin? The glasses thing plagues me, because I remove them to read. My remedy since the invention of the internet is to buy the things online. They’re cheap enough that I have 6 pairs distributed around the house, and there’s only one of those pairs that I haven’t come across for awhile.

Yes. And they know how to use them….

Told you, they do scurry a little.

Probably just the wind @janbb. It’s been stormy lately.

Speaking of beds, kast month the wife picked out a new mattress set and the bed is now exactly 3 feet above the floor. If one of us fell from the thing at our age we’d risk certain death.

No, but maybe it’s the ghost in your house playing games with you.

No, but poems have feet.

Books have spines, legs must connect somewhere.

Excellent, @elbanditoroso. I’d give you a bonus point if I could.

Gee, I thought librarians knew how to find books!

People interested in books have legs…

Inquiring minds want to know @janbb – where was it?

MY guess – on the sink counter near the commode.

It was on the bed in plain sight. Check above 9th answer down.

Exactly where the ghost left it.

Poltergeist. Not just a ghost…

I don’t have much trouble with books. There are only three places the books I am currently reading can be. My car on the other hand sometimes hid from me in supermarket car parks. It would move around among the parking bays while I wasn’t looking.

Not ghosts, not poltergeists. Gnomes.

^They make a spray for gnomes. Fog the house. Put out bait…

Not just legs, wings, too!

Tangent: I once looked for hours for a pen I thought I had misplaced, whereas I had it in my pocket all the while.
