I should check to see if my parents still have them.<br /><br />I also had a huge one-volume encyclopedia from Random House, and I used to enjoy paging through it too.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748491978578700929.post-34265606608767204122010-05-24T21:37:55.662-04:002010-05-24T21:37:55.662-04:00Wow!

I like your inclusion of encyclopedias though. I liked reading them as a kid too.

Getting lost in articles is such a great thing. It's one of the reasons I love Wikipedia. I can start out looking for the singer of a band, and end up reading about quantum theory. Great way to end the chain!Shaun Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480241164653893038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748491978578700929.post-3503381052832112542010-05-24T13:53:38.189-04:002010-05-24T13:53:38.189-04:00Totally did not see that coming - LOLTotally did not see that coming - LOLCole Gibsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384758019054580574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748491978578700929.post-83163668544061367492010-05-23T20:45:21.997-04:002010-05-23T20:45:21.997-04:00LOL awesome influence :D I used to sit and read en...LOL awesome influence :D I used to sit and read encyclopedias (still do actually, have the whole Funk and Wagner set!) :DMichelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748491978578700929.post-67590621765379124262010-05-23T11:39:33.542-04:002010-05-23T11:39:33.542-04:00YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!
