A good book captivates the very young..... |
....and books continue to captivate us as we age (gracefully) |
Solomon warns readers that the "writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body." (Ecclesiastes 12:12)
As my 20 year old sweatshirt says, "So Many Books, So Little Time."
I take that to mean that with so many books "out there" in print, that quality selection becomes very important. I have just finished reading a good one, one worthy of my precious limited time. And glory of glories, there's a sequel, which, so far, is proving to be even better than that first---because it's a continuation of what was already a good story. For avid readers, a sequel to a good book is an added bonus.

Thanks to Holly, a fellow booklover, for sharing Swan House, and Beth who shared her copy of it's sequel, The Dwelling Place. |
Hope you are having a grand time at WDW with your kids and grandkids
ReplyDeleteJust started book few hours ago/ Does the sadness go away?
Keep reading---sometimes a little sadness is good for soul growth---and it's much less painful in a book than in life .
DeleteSwan House is a great book!! Holly
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. If you're my "fellow book-reading" Holly then I need to thank you for that recommendation so many years ago.
