I was flipping through my Real Simple magazine, when I found the most adorable T-shirts. If you are a bibliophile and a clothing horse (like myself), you have to check out http://www.outofprintclothing.com/ . This site sells men's and women's T-shirts with the cover art from well-known literary works on them. Better yet, for every shirt you purchase, the company donates a book to a community in Africa. Cute clothes, books, and doing good? I LIKE it!! Now...the only question is who can I sucker into buying one of these beauties for me? (Man, I wish I knew about this site BEFORE Mother's Day). And which one do I want-- 1984, The Catcher in the Rye, Atlas Shrugged? Seriously..I love these shirts.
About Me
- Amber
- Illinois, United States
- I have always loved books. My mother has a photo of me as a small child, sitting on the floor surrounded by stacks of books, "reading" to my kitten. I'm pretty sure my love of books can be blamed on her; after all, she bought me most of the books in those stacks. I was startled to discover after having my son that I had gone months without reading a book. The previous record for time without reading a book could most likely have been measured in hours-- certainly not days, weeks, or months. I immediately rushed to the library to rectify this situation, and spent every napping moment frantically reading the biography of my favorite guitarist while my infant son napped. The book was unsatisfactory (I predict a return to rehab for the guitarist), but my book addiction is back in top form. Thus, despite having a husband, two-year old, two dogs, and a full-time job, I have decided to read all 501 books in my "501 Must-Read Books." I have enjoyed flipping through this in the past, reminiscing fondly about some of my favorites. Now I plan on actually buckling down, reading ALL 501, and sharing my experience.
