“I love to lose myself” is pretty accurate regarding why I read. And why I started writing, too.Hope the relocation’s going well!Reply
This truly gets to the heart of why reading is so great. To be a writer is to want to inspire in the way that we’ve all been inspired by so many excellent books. Thanks for the quote!MarissaReply
Nice quote and so true!
Great quote and I have been meaning to read some Lamb lately too.
Not only is that the reason I read, but write as well!
Nails it! Which is why we need to be choosy about what we read!

Thanks, Tere. Still here in Houma, though ready to boogie.

That’s a neat twist – I love getting lost in others’ minds too :)
