Books are very important to me. In fact, I married a “book” person and we have books all over my house. The books represent the legacy of other people. They are not equal in value. Some are more special than other. And I refer to these more often. Most of my “special” books are in my “pad”. In one book case I have quite a few of them. In another book case I have poetry books and most of mine (???) writing reference books. My books are like my “friends.” And I don’t want them too far away.

I read in every position and in every room. I read in bed–although not long and I am careful what I read: I don’t want nightmares if I can help it. I keep books and literary magazines in the bathroom. In fact, my wife bought and put together a small cabinet she spent hours researching just to keep my reading material neatly in the bathroom near the toilet. Of course, the reading I do there is in bursts. Most of the reading I do is in bursts. It was amazing I actually made it through Keith Richard’s autobiography–all 540 pages of it. It is really rare for me to read a novel. My favorite room has a spot right next the comfortable though ragged Lazy Boy chair where I keep my favorite devotional, “My Utmost For His Highest”, by Oswald Chambers. Most of my favorite books are in that room so I know where to find them when I am looking for a particular passage. I love to read and I have never had so many books in my house. I married a “book” person.
