  4. I guess in India they could be any number of figures! The Hindus have thousands of deities...

    Very funny and thought provoking!

  5. They do indeed look like bookends you'd see in the Dollar Store or Pier 1 Imports. Clever caption!

  6. LOL! These came originally from Mexico, but I think I'd love a few book Buddhas to add to the collection - what a great idea!

  13. I must be a bit out of touch, I'd never heard of a book monk or buddhas. Funny, because I love dollar stores. Thanks for the smile. I'll be heading to my local dollar store soon!
