WHY I READ BOOKS

My library in Thousand Oaks, CA. did a remodel last year. And as they rearranged their shelves and made better use of their space, they set aside many many books, paper and hard cover, for sale. I’m talking $1.00 for a paperback published in 2003. Fifty cents for older hard-bounds.entitled CHILD OF MY HEART.

Because I’m a writer, and when I have THE book IN MY HAND, I can easily write in it, flip back through pages, make it my very own. On a device like Kindle, you can do some of the same, but my method seems more “at the ready” and when I’m finished reading, I can put THE BOOK on my reading shelf.Of course, there are many other reasons why I read books: to get lost, to cry or laugh with human beings that come alive on the page.

It can also open our eyes to truth. But that’s a topic for another time. Each one of us must be responsible for truth—reading to find it and then reporting it. In a time when lies are held out as truth, being a careful reader is more important than ever. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.Photo Credit: thanks to illustrator Guada, for the perfect illustration for this post.
