Hmmm...

Time stops, problems fade, and all that is in focus are the pages that turn without realization. Words blur, pictures form, and another world is created in your head. It's simply wonderful. An escape from reality into someone else's creation, a collection of words that entertains, teaches, and reveals the thoughts of another. Feelings and emotions that have been lying dormant are unearthed. Eagerness is rewarded, and a sense of completion is brought out when the final page is turned...and then it happens. The realization occurs that the world you have escaped to is not Narnia; hours have passed, the phone is ringing, and the children need to be fed, clothed, and put to bed. Chaos insues and the peace fades away. Life resumes and cars pass by, the noises always seem to rise. Until...until, the bounded pages call and beckon you to open them, and then, you are lost once more. Enjoy.
