Book Worm

My love for reading is never going away. It makes me happy, inspires me and provides me with an escape from reality. Reading is great no matter where you are but there are a few places in particular that make it that much better… the beach and the bath. I have a bath almost every night where I can get away from it all, relax and enjoy whatever it is I might be reading.

Ahh but the beach, the sound of the waves, the heat of the sun and the smell of the ocean (or sometimes the lake) really make me happy.  Maybe one day I will move closer to these delights but for now I visit as often as possible.  In just over a week I am heading to sunny hot Mexico for my cousins wedding and I cannot freaking wait. Fun in the sun with my amazing family, beverages, and my cousin’s wedding but I am most excited to sit in a lounge chair, sip a cold beverage and read a great book.  I visit the book store on a regular basis to see what might be “vacation worthy.”  I enjoy a typical easy beach read as much as the next guy, but I think this time I’m looking for something more.

I read quite a bit, probably a few books a month.  I belong to a book club with a group of 11 fabulous women who meet once a month to discuss the pick of the month, other literature and life in general.  We all come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences; have differing opinions which often provokes great conversations. This month’s book is The Ape House by Sara Gruen, the same author that wrote the brilliant book Water for Elephants.  I am really looking forward to this book, and hope it doesn’t let me down.

I don’t think I have a favorite book of all-time, do you?

Happy reading!
