“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”

  1. I used to use books to escape my horrible life, but it has been a long time since I wanted to read anything.

    It would probably help to get back into reading to enjoy that part of my life again!

    1. I think it would be a great idea for you to start reading books again. As a child I wasn't encouraged to read and did little about it, but became interested in self-help books.

      Let us know how you get on.

      If we looked at how much time we waste in our day (including watching t.v.) those times would add up to enough time to read even a page of a book!!

      We're probably all guilty!!!
