Thanks to fellow author Jane Risdon for this fun Friday photo on the joy of reading. I unapologetically borrowed this after seeing it on her Facebook page. And thanks and kudos to the artist, Guada.
If this doesn’t sum up the power of a book to transport us from everyday doldrums to somewhere fantastical, historical, inspirational, magical or simply new to us, I don’t know what does!
Are you indulging in the joy of reading? I hope so! And really, it’s not an indulgence if it educates, provides much needed entertainment and escape, or makes us smile.
If you’re looking for a new read, have a look at my novels and short fiction works here.
One of the best things about retirement is that I can read whenever I want to and take as long as I want to. As a former professor in The WSU English Department, of course, I was always reading. However, now I don’t have to say, “Damn! Got to finish Jane Eye for Monday!”
