I liked having an extra hour yesterday! Can we do this every day? Imagine what I could do with an extra hour a day.
Read. Lately that is what I have been doing. I used to be a bookworm but after computers and laptops I fell out of the habit. Lately I've been downloading books and reading again and I have no control over myself. I charge through a book as if I am afraid someone is going to steal it from me if I stop. I read into the middle of the night and wake up early and read some more. Oddly, I am on a North Korea streak...The Orphan Master's Son, Escape from Camp 14. Lord have mercy. It is hard to believe such a awful place exists in this time. It is horrifyingly fascinating. How very fortunate we simply to be born where we are.
Here is another similar home one in pink.
The top one looks like a piece of England landed in Charleston!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does. Many our houses do.
DeleteBoth houses look like ones I'd enjoy. Books? Could not imagine a world without them. Learning to read was probably the very best thing that has happened to me, barring none!
ReplyDeleteI was always a reader. Something about downloading them has triggered me to start again.
DeleteThat second home could be a row house lifted from Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteMy wife has just finished a biography of William S. Burroughs and said she hated it. I've begun reading it now but haven't yet gotten to the "juicy bits".
I am always looking for good books now. Then I see if I can download them for free from the library. I have however been spending money on books and I haven't done that for years. I hope the authors are making some money from all these downloads.
DeleteI've been reading as long as I can remember... started even before school.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, particularly that first house.
Thanks William!
DeleteThat first house does look quite European.
ReplyDeleteI used to read several books a week when I was a kid. Now...it can take me months for one book. I started reading books on my iPad about a year ago. Now when I go back to a "real" book, I find myself tapping the page to look up the definition of a word. Duh!
I love not having to turn the light on at night. I call into a reading stupor and the tablet falls forward and hits my nose. I will be the first person, sleeping alone who gets my nose broken in bed.
