I don't keep track of the number of books I read, but of the number of books that tell such a good story or are written so beautifully that I am compelled to buy them and read them again...and again.<br /><br />I resonated with the traveling metaphor. I am wired to absorb and to absorb slowly. Both in reading and in travel. My oldest child stopped traveling with us in her teen years, because my husband and I spend too much time looking at water.Nib's Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820552995581749771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745079365410569259.post-53844239155483554022014-10-10T10:09:41.021+02:002014-10-10T10:09:41.021+02:00So true!

I like to sink into a place and feel as if I'm living there for a short while versus vacationing. I try and find lodging with a kitchen and buy groceries from the local market. I like to slowly stroll around the neighborhood I'm staying in and observe the little things. Hopping from landmark to landmark is not for me. I know my true nature is to read the same way, yet I often find myself piling up too many books at once and feeling pressured to get through them. Something I'd like to work on. I want to restore my reading to "a great pleasure".Denise https://www.blogger.com/profile/08269617590521412393noreply@blogger.com
