Books can enrich your vocabulary, expand your mind, and widen your perspective. Book make great gifts.
Why aren't you reading a book? Most people claim they don't have time. I've already written a post about listening to audio books: http://penelopemarzec.blogspot.com/2011/05/no-time-for-books.html
However, Daughter #1 pointed me toward an excellent link about how to make time to read a book when you're busy. You can find it here:

I've written a book and started writing another this year. In addition, I've read twenty-two books. I don't consider that a lot, and I probably would have read more if I didn't have the responsibility of caring for elderly parents.
Often, I read while I'm pedaling on my recumbent bike. I don't watch television, except for the news. I find books are far more interesting than television shows.
So pick up a book, download a book, or listen to an audio book. Give books to your loved ones this holiday season.
You do have time to read.
I'm reading an anger book now, and the one you gave me is next!

ReplyDeleteExactly! There's plenty of time to read during the course of the day. :-)
