"why do you enjoy reading?" he asked with a smile dancing upon the corners of his mouth She glanced up, just for a brief moment to reply "it is the only escape I know of." His mocking eyes enjoyed the answer it was what he was waiting for the chance to pounce on every verb or noun that left her tongue "escape, ha, I cant even finish a page." His statement roared from his chest as if the judgement had ruled only in his favor Her eyes didnt sway from the words that drifted to and from her free plane ticket to view the world "reading isnt for everyone, I suppose." too consumed she didnt even waste one moment of rebuttle(sp?) on the most passionate subject she knew |

Dear Melissa, I can relate to this and find you have spoken my heart too ... we do need to "escape" sometimes and this is indeed the wisest way I know of too ... it is a true blessing. Wonderful and wise! Love from another "Leseratte" (just found the English word for this: bookworm or avid reader)  Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

The beautiful thing about the human mind is that it can travel fom the heavems to the depths in mere moments and then fly away on a new adventure whenever it wishes. (p.s. I think the word you are looking for is "rebuttal") A lovely poem as always. Do not go gentle into that good night. |

Tis true that reading isn't for all but I would agree that the ones who don't are missing out on much. This analogy you used ... -------------------------------------- her free plane ticket to view the world -------------------------------------- PERFECT!!! |

Reading may not be for everyone, Melissa, just us lucky ones. I think you speak very well for all of us "readers" Ida |
