During our perusal of cheap flight options for our Europe trip, we came across a pretty decent flight to Iceland and pondered going, being huge fans of the power of Iceland in Risk: Game of World Domination. However, we opted for our whirlwind tour of Europe instead.
A few days later the random information on our calendar gave me cause to regret our rejection of Iceland:
The people of Iceland read more books per capita than any other country in the world.
AHHH! These are clearly my people. So much so that when Meghan read it, she called me and told me that if I went there she was pretty sure I wouldn’t be coming back and also that from now on she will be referring to the Icelanders as “my people”. And I must say, if they are all as thrilled by reading as I am, then they might very well be my people and I’m yearning to visit them.
Speaking of my all-consuming love of reading. I’d like to thank those of you who got me books for my birthday. I can’t wait to dive into them all! And thanks to Berta for the Star Wars Trilogy and the soon to be Star Wars Trilogy viewing night I think we’ll be having soon.
Don’t worry, tomorrow I will post pictures and details of my actual birthday and the rest of the birthday stats since I know you can’t wait for those either.
Good day to you all and most importantly, Happy 1st day of the 1st round of March Madness!! Poops-your bracket better be ready! I mean finished and taped to the wall when I wake up for the first game or you will be disqualified from our at home contest where there is no prize-yeah, you heard me!
