Page 1. I probably won‘t be able to read through this at work. I‘m a sucker for beautifully written words.
1. Pretty much anywhere.
2. Random piece of paper. I like to write down anything that really sticks out to me from the book. I save those pieces.
3. I like to have a good stopping point.
4. Nope
5. I like to listen to film scores while I read. Absolutely no words or I get distracted
6. Just one
7. Everywhere
8. Silently
9. Yes! Sometimes I just HAVE to know what‘s going to happen so I peek, but then I go back and get the details.
10. Heck no!
Classes for me and my kids were cancelled today so I‘m thinking sitting between 2 sleepy kitties (and their favorite green dinosaur) with a new book is a good way to spend an afternoon.
I thought about this last night as I read about a 14 year old boy who died of cancer yesterday. He had suffered tremendously. I watch him deteriorate on Facebook through his mother‘s posts. I wonder how she will go on now with her baby being gone? Did she really realize this was coming or did they just fight one thing at a time? One complication remedied and another in its place. Was the big picture lost in all the little things? Myopia.
Starting The Bright Hour this afternoon. I just opened the book and immediately love the pages. The actual pages. I‘m not big on reading on a kindle or phone or any other way, I like to hold the book in my hands and turn each page. And I LOVE when the pages have a little texture on the edges!
pickPage 8 was when I knew I would love this book. I love that it‘s written from death‘s perspective. I found myself in tears as death talked about his job and how it was hard for him too. I love in the middle of the book how The Standover Man is something beautiful written over the pages of a book by an evil man.
