I’ve noticed that when I’m immersed in a wonderful book and it’s coming to the end, I read fewer pages and string out my reading time in order to prolong the experience of a great read. Weird, I know but it does make the book last longer.

Love this one! I have loved reading (like music) from my earliest years and still love it now. To get 15 pages into a long book and already know, “this one is going to be good!” is one of the joys of life. Great fiction is a gift to us all, and it can be “literature” or just a good story well told. I try to mix up my fiction with non-fiction out of a sense of civic mindedness and that has its rewards, too. But to be taken away by characters you grow to love, what a treat. Thanks for reminding me of that!
