I Am A Reader

“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”

– Mortimer J. Adler

  • Oh there have been so many.

  • Ones that hooked me.

  • Ones that I couldn’t wait to read again.

  • Ones that made me cry.

  • Ones that made me laugh

  • Ones I didn’t care for.

  • And the ones that have migrated into my bones.

The amazing thing about books is that when you crack the cover, you have tapped into the imagination of the author. But the really cool part is, each one of us will interpret a book in our own way. What calls to me will be different for you.

There is a great quote about reading I just encountered: “I am a reader. Not because I don’t have a life, but because I want to have many.”

With gratitude.
