Reading is a great joy. Give me a stack of books, a comfy chair, and hot coffee and I’m happy. It’s a bonus activity that I schedule time for unless extenuating circumstances overtake my week. I appreciate the expertise shared by authors of non-fiction books and I wonder at the imagination of fiction writers.

If you ever meet one of the authors, be sure to tell them thanks for adding joy, humor, knowledge or just plain, good fun to your world.
