I miss reading. Even though it hasn't been a long separation, I yearn for the company of a good book, one that will sweep me away to a distant life. I wish I read quicker so I may experience everything; I wish I had an uncanny talent for selecting good books so I may at least experience the best of everything.
I wonder what a person's favorite book says about their character. If you like daring heroes, are you brave, relishing the valiant qualities you hold so dearly, or are you cowardly, clinging to stories in order to fill what you lack? If you favor fantasy, is your imagination blossoming or fed by the mind of another?
Soon, I might scavenge the family bookshelves to find a work I've not yet read. Maybe I'll discover something new in myself, something exciting and wonderful!
Or maybe I'll just enjoy a good story.
