On Reading

Too bad that authors can't stand behind readers listening. My partner laughs out loud, I sometimes cry, and I've heard people speak to the author, " You've got to be kidding . Why did you kill off my favorite character?"

Reading memoirs or real life adventure yarns captivate me and if well written create a reality that absorbs me into the narrative.

Reading is that activity that releases me from just playing one part-- the world is open. It all depends upon the book I select.
