I read for more reasons than I can list. To pass the time. For recreation. To take my mind away from a bad place. To educate myself.
One of the most important reasons I read is to experience the frisson that occurs when I discover that someone thinks or feels the same way I do.
I just read this: Some days, I feel like a hummingbird duct-taped to a fence.
Amen! And thank you.
