Ok, so they are trendy. And yes, their "history" is suspect. But I LOVE MY MOLESKINE NOTEBOOKS.

I bought my first Moleskine at a Barnes and Noble a few months ago, and then I bought another, and another, and another. Now I have five of them. They are like an addiction. I find excuses to buy them. You should buy them too.

I dig the graph paper kind but there are ruled ones, blank ones, and ones made for sketching. They all have a cool built in pocket and bookmark and they have a handy elastic strap that keeps them closed.

Turns out I am not the only Moleskine lover. Fast Company called them the Anti-PDA. There is an even an online Moleskine community.

So join the cool kids club and buy a Moleskine :P
