Anyone who enjoys a good book is a wealthy person. No matter what your circumstance in life, if you read, you can travel the world and visit with new and interesting people on a regular basis.
Each night when we get into bed, my husband and I each lay there propped up on our pillows reading our books. We really enjoy sharing this time. We don't talk, but we are certainly sharing. The next morning over coffee we'll often talk about what we're reading and if our book is a good one, we'll set it aside for the other to read when ready. I can count on enjoying a book that Gary has said, "You'd enjoy this one". He's never read Pearl S Buck and I'm anxious for him to discover her when I'm finished with "The House of Earth" trilogy. I've told several people that I will loan it to them, but he's first on my "loanee" list.
We have a wonderful used book store here. They buy and sell books of all sorts. Gary is such a good customer that he'll ask them to be on the look out for a certain book and they'll call him when they get it. When we take books in for them to buy, rather than money they give credit towards books. We're rich again. Our "tab" is so long I don't think we'll have to be buying a book anytime soon.
With the internet we can now download or read online most of the classics free. If they are older than patents are, they are free online. If there is a special book that you've been wanting to read, a great resource is www.mahalo.com. Either search for the book or the author, and you'll find some great links to site where you can read reviews or even download books free.
I think everyone is a "book lover" on one level or another. All you have to do is find a book that grabs you and you are captured for a lifetime. Then, the more you read, the better you get at finding books that capture you. It's win/win.
Happy reading!
Until next time,
Mary
