reading is fun

These past couple of days I have rekindled my love for reading.

Since Wednesday, I've read 5 books cover-to-cover. It was marvelous to just sit down with a book and not stop until I was done.

With the craziness of school, I haven't done a lot of pleasure reading in the last year. So to spend 5 days doing nothing but reading for fun has been a bit odd, but also so wonderful.

I found this website where people have uploaded texts of thousands of books, available for download or to read online. No need to drive out to the library now.

Okay not true; I love the smell of books. I love the library. And sitting at my computer screen all day isn't fun. So don't worry books, I have not abandoned you!

As I've been reading these past few days, I started to try to figure out what my favorite book is. I can't decide; there are too many that I love. Instead, I've just narrowed them down to my top 10 (in no particular order):

- Persuasion by Jane Austen
-The Guardian by Dee Henderson
-The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
-The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
-Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
-Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
-Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich
-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
-Blink by Ted Dekker
-Digital Fortress by Dan Brown

I chose these books as my "top 10" not only because I enjoyed them, but because I couldn't put them down. Because I've read them more than once. Because no matter how many times I read them, I can never seem to get enough.
