I Love Books

I love how a book can take me so far away from the present. Love how attached I become to the characters and get to know them as if I'd known them for all my life ❤️

A couple of years ago I read a book that I pretty much lived in for 3 months:
Three Roads to the Alamo by William Davis

It's a triple biography of the three famous heroes of the Alamo, Lt.Col.William Travis, Jim Bowie and David Crockett.

I have not read that book, but I love your expression "I pretty much lived in". A book can have that effect, in a way that a movie or TV show can't, in my experience.

@DrWatson: It was like spending three months in the Jacksonian era. I felt like I had become close friends with each of these three men.

@greenmountaingal: AS I read your username and think about your tastes in heroes, I have to ask: have you been friends with Ethan Allen too? :)

@DrWatson: I want to marry Ethan Allen...but we're separated by 228 years of American history. Frustrating.
