Quirk or Crime?

The First Stonehenge Scotland's Master Builders.

I like magazines and interesting articles.
I also tend to steal them from the dentist, doctor and veterinarian offices.
Not a dirty little secret really because I will admit to it and putting it out there a wee bit further now via the web....that I'm guilty of a small form of thievery.
But I can't help myself. When I find some interesting tidbit of information I cannot live without I take the entire magazine or If I'm lucky I just happen to find the magazine being given away for free and can take it legitimately. But I believe it is kinder to take the entire magazine rather than ripping out the article. It's more tragic to pick up the magazine and not have that article in there than just never knowing you missed the article.

Do you agree? Do you steal in what you may feel is an innocent manner? Quirk or Crime?

The other day I was looking through the free pile at the Roslyn Library and it was full of good stuff. So I rummaged through the pile, a picture of standing stones and the words Scotland grabbed my attention and I quickly picked up the National Geographic the cover was titled "The First Stonehenge." Intrigued because of my current book I'm writing titled Heather and Stones set in Scotland I put it in my pile to take home and read.

The article was engrossing the discovery of a large mysterious stone complex buried beneath a farmers field on the Orkney Island called Mainland just off the North coast of Scotland. Archeologists are unearthing the remains slowly and the findings have been fascinating and are in fact changing history. The photographs in National Geographic magazines are breathtaking, works of art. The article had photos accompanying it and the detail of the stone work in the photo's was mesmerizing.
