I Love Books
I read all the time. I enjoy all types of literature and especially like the classics. I am happiest when I’m curled up on the couch with a good book

THE BOOK
(c) Edward York
The day had started to fade away,
The sun was almost asleep.
All the battles yet not fought,
I thought would surely keep.
I would settle in an easy chair,
but first I'd take a look.
I would chase the battles of the day,
And shield them with a book.
The thoughts of stories I would choose,
Had just started to take shape.
I thought a classic might be the best,
To help with my escape.
So nestled in the cushion deep.
With a bourbon by my side.
I picked a book I'd read before,
To take it for a ride.
I knew that many could be the one,
And help to save the day,
And you could never go wrong,
With Melville or Hemingway.

Yes indeed. The joy of escaping to another world while not leaving the room 🙂
