Of a Book

I love to copy down the names of suggested books. I've even been known to bend myself into contortions to read the title of a book being read by someone I don't know.


This time of year newspapers delight in lists. We even received a Christmas epistle listing the sender's favorite books read in 2012, both non-fiction and fiction.


Last week I copied down the name of a non-fiction book— a spit of a mention on a handout from a workshop. Actually it was an attributed quote. One copy existed in the library consortium and I requested it before anyone else in the workshop had the same idea.


Within two pages I was hooked. It's so sweet to discover a new author.
