In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends imprisoned by an enchanter in paper and leathern boxes.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) --
Friends and enchanters, come to me!
Wink your eyes and tap your feet
Come tell your tales of horror and glee
I cannot wait for us to meet!
I'd write more, but I've gotta hot book to read, bye!
(Oh, all right. I'm reading something that transports me across centuries and across the ocean--historic fiction, set in Europe. The characters are believable, and the plot feels like real life--some things go well, and others are a face-plant into concrete ranging from wet to solid!)
Been transported by a book lately? A recent fav of both the Blogger and the Mrs. was Stephen King's 11/22/63. We traveled through time and space to a weird take on "reality" that had none of King's rather-common gore and guts...enchanting and just a little bit scary...that wonderful kinda book that was hard to put down.
How's that for a book criterion--"I had a hard time putting it down. Go, pick one up today"?
