It was said of my mother, by her mother, that she could not walk through a room without stopping to read something. I’m like my mother in a lot of ways, & that is probably one of them, although in my case I would also want to straighten the row of books on the bookshelf!
Speaking of books: that’s why we’re here, right?
I’m frequently reminded of a line in the movie SHADOWLANDS, staring Anthony Hopkins as British author & Oxford University professor C. S. Lewis. In the movie, Lewis confronts a student he observed stealing a book from the University book store. In his defense, the student claims that at least the book he stole will be read & offers as an explination for his actions something his father used to say:”We read to know we’re not alone”.
I love that: We read to know we’re not alone.
You?
Same thing…but with music. Music can change my entire outlook in a moment.
