It's Okay to Read All The Time

Quick reminder to myself and any/all who pass this post.

It's okay to read often. It's okay to re-read often. It's okay to read a ton or a few number of books.

It's okay to read non-fiction only. Fiction only. Classics only. Middle Grade only. Or anywhere in between.

I loathe the new society (though is it new really?) that demands we all be the same, yet different.

I soak up all of my free time with chapters of great books.

I don't justify or explain this to anyone.

Only fellow bibliophiles understand the sublime feeling of coming in close contact with great literature.

There is a feeling of complete love and joy when I conquer a great work (Hello Proust, I'm looking at you).

No matter who you are. No matter where you are on your life's journey, novels hold the key to a certain happiness that touches the soul. And unlike a favorite ballet, or museum... you get to return to the work over and over again.

Happy reading ☕️
