\"film...book\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I happen to enjoy movies, TV shows, plays, musicals–just about anything watchable.<\/p>\n

But books….<\/p>\n

A book can take me where no visual entertainment can, delving deep into a character’s pysche. Finding out what makes them tick, what they’re afraid of and what they truly desire… That’s what I want.<\/p>\n

I have a confession, though. As a writer myself, I can’t help but read with a critical eye to how I’d improve on the story had I written it. That said, a truly good book, one in which I am captivated and engrossed, soon takes me beyond any kind of critiquing. I love that, love when I lose myself in a story. Visualizing the characters, feeling what they feel, and often wishing they knew what I knew so that they’d make more informed choices, finding out what happens next and next and next until the story ends–it doesn’t get better than that.<\/p>\n

All this talk about books has revved me up. I think I’ll go outside, find a shady tree, sit down and read.<\/p>\n

Until Wednesday, and wishing you a book that carries you away,<\/p>\n
