Books and Sighs
I was reading the news with my husband last night and I saw that Amazon had come up with the TOP 100 Books You NEED to Read Before You Die.
Many of them I'd read before, and there were of course a lot I hadn't.
It was then that I realized I don't read for entertainment as much as I used to. I'm at the point in my life where I not only want to be entertained by a book, but nourished. I want to be changed in some way or to feel something different.
It doesn't have to be a big change or a big feeling, but I do want to feel a part of that great connection when I'm experiencing a book.
