World of Books

“A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.”Neil Gaiman

Those of you who really enjoy reading know that once you pick up a book you are transported into other worlds and situations and soon the world of reality becomes foggy. I know that when I was a child you might say I decided to “eat” my way through the library. Every book was enjoyed whether it was a picture book or storybook.

When I got to what I refer to as actual books I always left the library with an armful. Among my favorites was the books about Pippi Longstocking and I always imagined being like her. Often it was hard to put the books down. I never watched TV without having a book in my lap.

Today I still love to get lost in favorite books. Among my favorites which I have read several times already but always find something new among the pages is “The Woman In White” by Wilkie Collins.  I am always transported far away to another place and time. So yes, I agree with the above quote and always prefer to hold a real book in my hands.
