I enjoyed your essay on reading. Too bad airlines charge so much for overweight luggage now. You'll have to limit the number of books you take to Paris.

Love the pretty library entry photo! Excellent essay depicting your love of reading. I grew up so remotely rural I didn't discover libraries until in high school, but we always had books to read. Carol

You write with such imagery...I can picture you sitting there with your legs curled up under you and a book in your lap...really well done. (me, I'd choose Paris and find a good tree while I was over there!)CJ
