It's About Books

Love books? I do. Love to read them, love to talk about them, and someday I hope to write some. You'd think, after reading for a few decades, a person would grow bored, have trouble finding any stories that are new, fresh, interesting. No so, at least not for me.

There's nothing like finding a new author, another genre, reading about different people, or unfamiliar places. It never ceases to amaze me what plots and characters writers dream up. Books are a means of entertainment, but also a chance to exercise your imagination, to escape, to relax, to see the world from a different point of view.

The best stories are like taking a journey, going places you never thought you'd go, doing things you never thought you had the nerve to do.

What are your thoughts? Tell me, why do you love to read? What's the best book you ever read? Hardcover, paperback or ebook? I'd love to hear from you!
