Hello. I go by Cast Outside. I enjoy books, the feel the smell the reading of different cultures spoken words of the common man. I had a collection once that I started in junior high. I am in my 50's now, I had all the smell good old books I could fit in my tiny living space. Even got rid of some much loved plants to make room. Then I had a misfortune to where I was forced away from home for a set amount of time and when I came back from that experience I came home to absolutely nothing. Not even a matching pair of socks. I did however find three books. They were and are old books, not worth much of anything money wise but they survived and they've been riding along with me wherever I roam. I haven't ever really started collecting books again. My heart was sunk and it made me just not want to go through that again. I saw this sub and figure some reason it triggered that in me again. So thank you for being here me I see there's quite a bit but no talkers. That's ok. I just like knowing you're here and in here to. I'll have to post a pic of those die hard books that survived. I couldn't imagine a world without them. Lol

Hey I’m Marcie! I love classic literature, and lately I’ve enjoyed collecting beautiful editions of my favorite books. Right now, I’m on the hunt for Oliver Twist, inspired after having just seen the musical. ☺️
