Happy Valentine’s Day to all my Friends!
♥ ♥ ♥
Not the kind of “love” question you’re expecting for Valentine’s Day. No, what I want to know is: What do you love most about reading?
Trying to find an answer that covers everything between fact and fiction, I arrived at this:
What I love most about reading is that it keeps broadening my horizons.
…
Or, as the quote on this postcard I recently got from a friend puts it:
“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”
~Mason Cooley~
Same thing for me - it broadens my horizons, feeds my imaginative, improves my creativity & builds my vocabulary :-)

Happy Valentine's Day, Monica!!! Is it celebrated much in Sweden? Do the kids exchange Valentines like they do here? Gosh, I never thought about the reason I like reading. When I was a child, it was to escape. Now it is to learn, or get a laugh, or be amazed.
ReplyDeleteWhat I most love about reading is the possibility of delving into another place, another time, another life. Not that there is anything wrong with my real life! And when a non-fiction book is written in a way that captures me so much that I can really delve into the matter, the side-effect of learning something along the way is most welcome :-)
ReplyDeleteI must share a short story about reading and its wonderful results. My SIL grew up in East Los Angeles in a gang invested neighborhood. Left alone because of a single working mom, he found a miracle...a Library several blocks away....He escaped daily to the library and READ, READ, READ. Today he is a very educated man, military and almost 30 years with LA Metro Systems as a tech...He said reading saved my life, and I've been all over the world, met thousands of famous people, all in the form of books.
