What Do Your Children See You Doing?

The best students come from homes where education is revered: where there are books, and children see their parents reading them.

And/Or A Great Soulmate

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end.  You live several lives while reading.

A State With No Business

Maps For Those Difficult Times

A book is a map  ….  There will be times in your life when you will feel lost and confused.  The way back to yourself is through reading.  There is not a problem in existence that has not been eased, somewhere and at some time, by a book.  …  The answers have all been written.  And the more you read, the more you will know how to find your way through those difficult times.
―   Matt Haig
From his book:  “Echo Boy“
