Hurrah for Books!

Today, we got to have lunch with our grandson at his elementary school and tomorrow we will have lunch with our granddaughter. After lunch we visited the book fair at his school.

I’m always happy to buy books as gifts for our grandkids because reading is such an important way for people to expand their horizons. I love that both of them love books.

“Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin, another’s voice, another’s soul.”
― Joyce Carol Oates

As a child I was a voracious reader and I still read a lot. It’s hard for me to relate when I hear someone say that they have not read a book since they left school, and they are proud of it.

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

Reading is a wonderful way to become more compassionate, open-minded, and kind.

When was the last time you read a book for pleasure?

May you walk in beauty.
