Library in the Sky

I love traveling! And not just for the obvious ability to see and experience different countries, cultures, traditions and people, but I love the aspect of seeing so many people reading books of so many different types.

This weekend I went on a mini-trip. Nothing exciting but a great opportunity to visit with family. There is a hustle and bustle feel to airports. People on a mission or journey somewhere, everyone with a purpose. And yet, despite their busy schedule they take time for enjoyment. These days, that can easily include a movie on a long flight or with a laptop/IPad. But many times, enjoyment includes a good book or books—often on a nook or kindle. As a writer, I now spend much of my time writing. Still, I’ll occasionally pull out a book when I’m too tired to type another word. And no matter how much time passes in between the books I read (which really isn’t that much), it’s like coming home every time I open the cover of a new book.

What about you all? Is there a type of book that comforts you in particular? Are you amongst those reading in airports? Or do you spend most of the time writing?

P.S. For those mothers this past weekend, Happy Mother’s Day!
