I miss reading for pleasure, too. Your photos are fabulous, especially the clouds... I read your entry about the genre of Heirs of Mavarin... I enjoyed it, and never realized that fantasy had so many subcategories. From your definitions, I suppose I like High fantasy (with the medieval slant), and I like fantasy with magic (but don't care for the dragons, witches, elves, and unicorns); I like fantasy that suggests Christian influences and morals... which to me, doesn't make a lot of sense, but I know when I read it, it appeals to me. I think I would enjoy your book! And, thanks for visiting my journal!<BR/>BeaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19010648.post-1139239091819774972006-02-06T08:18:00.000-07:002006-02-06T08:18:00.000-07:00Hi Karen,I came across this quote recently and wan...Hi Karen,<BR/><BR/>I came across this quote recently and wanted to share it with you:<BR/><BR/>"In a real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish. "<BR/>S. I. Hayakawa <BR/><BR/>The quote made me feel very guilty because lately like you, I have found very little time to read. I did love reading journals and am going to try to take a LIMITED amount of time each day to just read selected ones, but it's hard to be selective when there are so many good blogs out there.<BR/><BR/>That picture is amazing, and how fortunate you are to live close to such a breathtaking site!<BR/><BR/>I don't think you should work on Sunday. Not because I'm especially religious, but because I think it's important to have a day off. And I agree about the SUperbowl, I don't even know who played nor who won!Globetrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079682652900127410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19010648.post-1139234489389961212006-02-06T07:01:00.000-07:002006-02-06T07:01:00.000-07:00I go in spurts of reading.. taper off a while and ...I go in spurts of reading.. taper off a while and then get back into it.. seems like a cycle.<BR/><BR/>great pic.. waiting to hear more about itDesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19010648.post-1139214356443676682006-02-06T01:25:00.000-07:002006-02-06T01:25:00.000-07:00I hate it that I don't get as much book reading do...I hate it that I don't get as much book reading done as I used to.
