Hi Blogverse,
my name is Rose Read. I'm a gorgeous bespectacled goddess who loves nothing better then a great book and a pair of yoga pants. I am a fairly seasoned blogger, but this is my first book blog. Rather fittingly, I write this first post in a library.
Books aren't just glue and paper and fabric and thread. They're tiny little universes, galaxies, worlds, cities, towns, streets, houses, people. No wonder an armful weighs so much. The fact is, in this modern age we sometimes forget books. TV, music, movies, radio, are all sometimes more convenient. But nothing can rival the quiet, enveloping contentment of curling up with a book, wherever and whenever. I've read books on planes, in bed, on couches, in fields, in trees, on boats, at school, at work, on buses, in pavilions, in gazebos, in cars. On occasion, I've read while walking.
The fact is, no matter how shiny and flashy and bright other forms of entertainment may be, books are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end and the middle.
And yes, there is slight irony in my posting about books online, but I think this is less hypocrisy and more creativity.
So let there be books, dear Reader, and let us always be human enough to read them.
Rose Read
