The Good Book…To Steal!
So the best selling book in the world, every year in fact, is the Bible. Ironically, it’s also the most widely stolen book from Walden Books at Lenox. It’s stolen so much that they had to move the bible section right next to the check out.
This is incredibly ironic since the Bible condemns thievery and since you can read the bible for free on line and any number of churches will give it to you.
Still, there is something heartening to know that of all the books to be stolen out of the very center of feeding our material needs, it’s the Bible and not something by Donald Trump.

I was reading something the other day…in the New Yorker maybe? It said that 25 million Bibles are sold every year in America, and American families own an average of four bibles. So bookstores are managing to sell twenty five million a year of something almost everybody already owns, and people are still stealing them. Bizarre.

Remember, a book can only take so much thumping before it wears out.
Maybe Goodyear should go into the binding business.
