Absolutely agree! Books are passports to foreign lands and introductions to interesting characters. Solace and inspiration,
books are .. well, ... everything! :-) Well done, Kathleen!

We read to be quiet within, Kathleen.
A fine and admirable tribute to plain text.

YES! Reading can just take me away! There are days when I should be working, I choose to read instead. I can sit and read for days!

Peace,

i like this kathleen...it was the greatest gift i ever gave my kids...the love and magic of reading...exploring new places and thoughts through books. i didn't realize it at the time...simply a thing i grew up with and inately passed on...they've all come back to name it as a gift i gave...now i see them doing the same w/ theirs. thank you for naming them as 'friends' that you can find 'again and again

I wrote a poem some years back on this same subject and I could not agree more with how books can stir your imagination and take you to places you may never be able to go to. Well done, Kathleen.
