365 Days of Books

I read the newspaper every day but I didn't read books, not even comic books. There was no time. There were people to talk to and games to play and things to do from morning to late at night. There were no quiet hours after everyone else was in bed but before I was itred enough to sleep. I fell into bed exhausted each night and usually I was not the last one awake.

But now I am home and there is nobody to play speed Scrabble with me at 11pm and there are those quiet afternoon hours when the sun on the couch beckons me and the whole family is absorbed by books.
