Why We Read

7 Comments

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.
– Henry Ward Beecher

      Yes! Very similar to something I heard author John Green say recently about how a book will always wait for you.

      Thank you! Taken during a field trip at El Rancho de Los Golondrinas, a national historical landmark that is also a re-inactment village. It was a gorgeous day. You’ll see more photos form the same day here…
