“Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author’s words reverberating in your head.”
~ Paul Auster

Great image to go with the quote.
Thank you.
I’m all for reading. What author wouldn’t be?
Of course you would.
Me too!
I agree with Paul Auster!!
Reading, you can become part of the book.
Yes, the good ones.
This was me before electroshock therapy. It left me with a reading disability–took away all these gifts and made reading hard work and stressful.
Shame…sorry to hear this.
Perfect! The quote (as I nodded along) and the image (though I never pictured you with long hair and a nightgown..but hey, my imagination only goes so far).
Given my insomnia…I’m thinking anything is possible!
Is that the insomnia talking or your intrepid belief in all things being possible?
Clearly insomnia. Period.
My Love! It opens the doors of imagination for the reader.
Me too!
You never know what to expect and how your going to react when your done.
Full immersion…
Reading is the one pastime that totally relaxes and absorbs me
Me too!
This is an amazing picture!
Yes, I’m with you…
