Well, I’m a writer, I’m nosy so I asked her what kind of books she liked to read. “Oh, I don’t read much,” she answered. “I have a hard time concentrating on the words.” Wow, I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. I didn’t say anything – what could I say? But, I almost wept. I simply cannot envision a world without books. I cannot imagine one day going by in my life when I haven’t read something. My husband is an avid reader, too, and we spend many happy hours side by side, reading. I’ve been to every country in the world, by reading books. I’ve studied history and gone to other worlds, met vampires, werewolves, fallen in love with handsome Duke’s and helped solve horrid murders, all from the comfort of my cosy chair. Not read books? I’d rather die.
