Athens, GA (Clarke County) Copyright 2008 D. Nelson

Another wonderful example of Milka's skillful treatment of things that belong to me. Not sure when exactly this happened (some time in 2005) but I remember we were at the laundromat and when I put the book down, in a second, she had swallowed the bookmark (paperclip) and torn pages 337-370 in half. I mean, come on! What disregard for world literature!

I hope that you were at least on page 371. ;)

I remember that Milka is a
speed reader.... I guess that she just got excited and wanted to try and finish "The Idiot" while you were folding the laundry.
Poor Dostoevsky... didn't he suffer enough?

This photo is brilliantly done. I love how your positioned this pages, and your masterful use of darkness and warm light. The D40 and 50mm saw a little action here. ;)

Definitely on a roll. *****

Don, yes, I was past page 370.

I forgot that under the speed reader photo I remarked "you should see my copy of "The Idiot"". Well, here it is, LOL.

The D40, 50mm and the tripod need to see more action.

Ouch!
I only hope that the Laundromat got the message,
as the Book told It for 370-337=33 times:
"THE IDIOT" !!!

Ein sehr ästhetisches Bild.
Es spricht für Milka, dass sie sich an Arztromanen erst gar nicht vergreift.

Most people eat their own words; Milka decided to eat someone else's. Can't blame her, really. ;-)

MilkaWay says:

LOL, thanks everyone for your funny comments! I'll pass them on...

Jeff, I got all the pages, thankfully it was just a paperback and not a limited edition of some sort :)

Now I need to dig up the photo where she was trying to mail my sofa to Sweden...while I was away.

shiphome says:

Yes... that is a must see.
That would have been quite a package to send to Sweden.... Milka might have had to borrow the money for postage. :)

Oh, it was postage stamped and ready to go...Milka knows her stuff :)
