Rabbit Food


I sometimes say that I devour books or that I just eat them up. Oddly enough in my house we have a creature that literally eats books. Our lovely bunny enjoys a little literary nosh when allowed. So we keep the bottom shelf of the bookcase just for Bunny. Sometimes it is hard to decide what warrants banishment to the bunny shelf. Sometimes it is just a book that I know I will never read, sometimes it is a book that I have kept in the car so long that the glue has melted and the pages have fallen out, sometimes my motives are downright vindictive. If I really disliked a book.....onto the bunny shelf it goes.

This may be seen as animal abuse if Bunny could actually read (and I am preceding from the belief that he never learned).  As to paper and texture, I believe that books are fairly similar. But are they? Sometimes Bunny will just eat the cover of a book and ignore the pages. Sometimes he will make his way well into a book. Tonight he was eating Who Cares by Dee Marrella.  Sara says this means that he has deep inner thoughts.  I wonder......

I don't know which is worse - having your book become bunny food or having your book sold at 80% off at the remainder table. Ouch.
