Diving into a good book.

Fact, fantasy, illumination, insight, culture, drama, teaching, growth, thrill, intrigue, diversity, intellect are among the many reasons we desire to engulf ourselves in a new book.

We can chase our childhood innocence and joy...
We can develop a deeper understanding of our magnificent God and his love for us.
We can learn how to become the strongest and courageous person we were meant to be.
We can follow a diverse culture from our own and learn how another country's day to day life is run.
We can hang on to each page wanting more from the character.
We can imagine ourselves on adventure...

I love the process.
Skimming the rows of hundreds of books standing eagerly for you to pick it off the shelf and open its pages.
Or, talking with friends and family that recommend a great book that had captivated them in some way.

Enjoying my last few weeks of summer I have developed a deep desire to reeeeead. I have completed the first few books in the "Number One Ladies Detective Agency" based out of Botswana, Africa. When the 4th and 5th arrive I will continue with the series. In the meantime, my focus is on "The Shack" followed by "Eat Pray Love".

Any suggestions for "Desired/Must Read Books"??
