This is the most fun I’ve had reading in weeks.
The book arrived, as ordered online, through the mail, and I managed to bring it from the mailbox to the back steps.
Then Chris got his bicycle from the garage to head off to class.
I sat down on the top step and wondered at how thin and small the book is. I began reading, maybe just one chapter. Homework and housework could wait just a few minutes.
Next thing I know, the complete book was done, and I closed it, with a sigh escaping my lips as I realized I had been holding my breath for the whole last page.
Chris came riding his bike back up the sidewalk. I had read all of Lilies of the Field by William E. Barrett in about an hour.
What a pleasant distraction!
~~love and Huggs, Diane
Wow! Now that is nice! I need to get that book. There are too few books that make me sit there until the end!
How wonderful to find something that carries you away to another place and time and keeps you there to experince life outside your own. I too will try to find that book. Thanks Diane
PS A nice picture also!
Good Book! Nice Photo, too! Evelyn
You look so content, so engrossed, and so thoroughly enjoying being lost in a book. I went to Amazon and put Lillies of the Field on my wish list.
Thanks so much for the information on the demolition of the Fostoria Factory. Glad they are still leaving one building and using it for crafts.
Wonderful!
Reminds me of when I read Wild Swans : three Daughters of China. That was a big read and I read it walking, travelling, eating and anything else. Couldn’t put it down but had to for obvious reasons.
Lovely that you gave yourself the opportunity to forget everything else and just read
I love when I find a book like that.
Thanks for visiting me.
Thanks for visiting my site! I know what you mean about devouring books! I saw that film, Lilies of the Field with Sydney Poitier when I was a little girl, and I just loved it. I think I will have to read it now! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love books like that. I do that with EVERY book though. If I don’t finish it in one or two sittings I will never finish it.
