So many books and not enough time.
These books, whether they are self-help books, biographies, or fictional, will teach me something. I will close the back cover upon reading the last word and I will somehow be better for reading the words contained inside.
Some will teach me about the lives of real people, how they met and how they lived their lives. Some will teach me about history and how others lived in a different time and a different place. Some will teach me how I should be living my life, now and for the future.
Some I have started, read the first chapter and put it down in order to finish another book that was started days or weeks before.
This stack won't get any shorter because there will always be more books to add to the stack.
Inside the pages of books is where I go to lose myself.
"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are." ~ Mason Cooley
