I love old books frayed from pages turning.
Their warm, soft binding, the words deftly planned.
They lead me through a story like a dear friend’s hand.
– Jan Coleman
Treat yourself to something good to read today, a book that seems alive. A story that speaks right to you, one that is so gripping and the characters so appealing that you’re a bit sad when you come to the end. It feels like you’re saying good-bye to a friend.
It’s been said that a good book contains more wealth than a good bank, and that a drop of ink can make a million people think. Curl up with something delicious to read. Select something that transports you to another time and place, that makes you laugh, or that brings you to tears with a poignant scene. Maybe you prefer books or magazines that challenge your mind, make you examine theories, or teach lessons in life. Whatever your preference, set aside time to soak in some words.
What you read will inspire, inform, and delight you. It will calm your spirit when you need it the most. A good book is like an afternoon in a fragrant garden, Just knowing that a good book is waiting at the end of your long day can make the anticipation so much sweeter.
Whatever you read for pleasure nourishes your soul. It is as if a book of letters was written just for you, packed with wisdom and truth. Stow your favorite passages away in your heart. They’ll clear your emotions and enlighten your mind.
