I'm poring through Karen Armstrong's The Case for God right now.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007392446053069794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130453516619576455.post-49117870312011628432011-01-06T11:24:13.441-08:002011-01-06T11:24:13.441-08:00Mary, you totally captured how I feel about books ...Mary, you totally captured how I feel about books and reading. Like you, as a child, I read everything I could get my hands on, even re-reading the back of the Wheaties box every morning. Books have been one of the few constants in my life. I can still conjure up the musty smell of my small, home town library. It was intoxicating. I can still feel the concave, worn wooden steps underneath my feet leading me to thousands of other worlds. I am glad you gave yourself the gift of luxuriating in books over the holidays.

I was reminded of similar goals and childhood memories of roller skating up and down the driveway reading - because I had to go outside and get exercise.Kinkead's Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779337051641368770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8130453516619576455.post-20591176329214163742011-01-03T08:55:37.309-08:002011-01-03T08:55:37.309-08:00Thanks.
