9.3.2011

i originally started this book at crescent beach this summer.
i pulled it off faiths bookshelf as i sat on the front porch one quiet afternoon.
i read a couple chapters and returned it to its spot.
but it had the pull of a great book in that short period.
i checked it out at the library and started the journey again.
and i'm so glad i did.
this is one of those books that pulls you in, makes you carry it around &
calls you to read just one more page in the middle of deep night insomnia.
it is fabulous and i was sorry to finish it.
its writing was beautiful, its words caused me to look up many definitions
in the dictionary & its location prompted me to get out the atlas.
it took me to a place outside my comfort zone.
it made me appreciate where i live,
especially as the anniversary of 9/11 is approaching.
will add this one to my library to enjoy again.
