i like books.

ever since i can remember, i read. growing up, we read more books than we watched tv. that's just the way mom and dad raised us. on tuesdays, right after piano lessons, was a trip to the library. us kids loved the library.

i still do. i go every chance i can. poor mom has to sit out in the running car with the groceries and wait while i browse all the books, carefully selecting my titles. sometimes i consider myself a picky reader. on some days, i feel so desperate to read a book, i'll read just about anything... as long as it's clean. mostly i enjoy true stories. the real life, feel-like-you've-been-there, daring stuff. as of late, biographies grip me and draw me in more than anything.

sometimes i ask myself why i like to read. i love words. i love writing so i love seeing how others write. reading about other's lives fascinates me too. there's nothing like being drawn into another life and learning - another world almost. reading makes me forget everything else. you can be anyone you want to be when you read.

a few titles i have read recently...

walt disney: the triumph of the american imagination by neal gabler

one of the best books i've read is one thousand gifts by ann voskamp. that book changed the way i look at life. to date, the best book i have ever read is the Bible. there is never a lack of inspiration with this book in hand and in life.
