Reading and Books
I read a lot, so I love to share my take on books I’ve enjoyed, authors I admire, and advice on fitting more reading into an already busy life. When I was a child, I lived two blocks from a public library, a place I would look back on as an incredible sanctuary. To this day, libraries represent all that is good and noble in my life. I still have a rough sketch of home library plans I drew as a 12-year-old (I am writing in that library now — talk about the power of vision!). A book allows you to lodge yourself into the mind of the author, stand in their shoes, look at the world through their eyes, and in the process, make your world so much bigger. I cannot imagine a life without books.
