This Book I Hold

This book I hold in my two hands Has taken me to distant lands Without an airplane, without a ship When I'm finished, so is my trip

If I had a dollar for every time I have closed a book and realized the trip is over but I wanted it to keep going for at least another chapter, I would have a bunch of extra dollars.

Thank you, Timothy. And just think, you never had to leave your 'easy chair!' ~ Passepartout and Phileas Fogg

Splendid write Gershon.. They can take us to distant lands.. past or future, real or fantasies..The choice is ours to take the ride..

That's right -- and you can ride from the comfort and convenience of your own home! :) gw

Charming tribute to the books we know and love and made us who we are today. Who needs a travel agent?

Very good point. It looks like travel itself is off-limits these days, let alone travel agents. We're back to relying on books and other media... As the world turns... Thanks, John!
