Gratification In Books

A good book gives great gratification, Be it a mystery, a thriller or romance, I love them all, And when it's Christian fiction, I love them even more, From Francena Arnold to Karen Kingsbury to Denise Hunter, I simply love their writing, Enid Blyton caught my attention as a child, As did the story of Esther, David, Hannah and Samson, And then when I was in college, Came Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, And the history of the nation of Israel, Today, I should say that I'm obsessed with reading, Sometimes, it's poetry by Helen Steiner Rice, Sometimes, it's simply Sherlock Holmes or Nicholas Sparks, But a good book sure gives great gratification to me. 04.05.2021

So true, Jo. I take my reading in spurts, but reading has been there for since my early childhood. I, too, am obsessed with books.

I haven't been reading much these days but I am now reading an Asimov book, one of my favorites.
