- "I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage."
- I've had a lifelong love affair with books. From my earliest memories, books have always called out to me -- come, sit down, read. Now they say, "Come, sit down, read -- the housework will wait." I especially love fiction, but try (sometimes) to read several non-fiction books every year.

I love this post so much that I'm going to write my own post about it. No wonder you're my friend - you love books I think even more than I do!
Well, you know I am a book addict too. I'll have to share my list at some point, but for now, work calls. =(
Two books I'm reading right now.
1. 1776 by David McColluogh
2. Political Speeches and Writings of Elanor Roosevelt.
I'm going to have sit and think about some of my favorites. I love books too.
Wow ... reading. I've done some of that. Unfortunately, not lately - unless it is juvenile literature you're looking for. :-) I will have to think about this, and like Paige, I may just make my own post. Who knows!? OK ... gotta get back to reading ... the grocery list, the calendar, the junk mail, the recipe, the small print, the user's manual, .... see? I read. \:-P
Well, I have completely devoured everything I can get my hands on Karen Kingsbury. The Baxter family series is a recent favorite. I also have read everything by John Grisham except his newest one - I will wait until it comes out in paperback. Mostly these days I have had to limit my reading to "Detectives in Togas" (my daughters 3rd grade reading), the couple of magazines I get, and the newspaper. I recently read/skimmed "The No Asshole Rule" at Barnes and Noble the other night - interesting. My summer reading list is growing and I hope to read the Grisham book as mentioned, some of the historical fiction from McCollough. I love to read too and I love our church library.
Genny...was Mrs. Sanders your second grade teacher? I ask, because I see the two E.B. White books she read to us. To this day, the first books I read to my children are "Charlotte's Web" and "Trumpet of the Swan" and it's because of Mrs. Sanders.
