A Book To Take Me

I like a book to take me to a site by me unknown though not necessarily all that far from home Though an action thriller may land me in old Bahrain 'Discoveries in Neuroscience' might reshape my whole brain I like a book to teach me something fresh, brand-new What to feed my pet iguana or how to build a canoe Oh, what great glory to curl up with an adventure story or ponder viewpoints that inspire And it's so comforting to know, for sure ~ I'll have more to read when I retire...

I don't know about that, these days seem to fly faster than I can even begin a chapter. Good luck.

You don't have to finish the chapter or the book. Just start. The rest will come. You'll see. 10 minutes a day. Easy to say, I know....Good luck! :) gw

If you read a little, but on a regular basis, before retirement, you won't struggle to establish the habit afterward. A little momentum helps, methinks. Bet wishes, Gershon

Thanks, I try to read a book a week, mostly biography, history, science, or literature. Even poetry occasionally. LOL. How about you? Are you a reader too? Thanks for the nice comment. Happy Wednesday evening! :) Gershon
