I read every night before I go to sleep. If I don’t have a book, I feel a little panicky because I know I won’t be able to sleep well that night. Reading shuts my mind off. I stop thinking about all the worries of the day as I get immersed in someone ELSE’S worries and drama.
I’ve always been an avid reader. In high school I read on the bus to and from school. I spent most of our family vacations reading. I was ALWAYS reading. In college, I majored in what else….English. It was somewhere around this time that I began to get tired of reading. After all, when you are assigned to read 7 novels in the course of a semester for just ONE of 3 literature courses it does tend to get old. I never really caught the reading bug again until about two years ago. Now, it’s every night before I go to sleep, unless it’s a really juicy novel, then just TRY and rip it out of my hands. My whole life will fall apart until that book is finished.

My absolute favorites in the past year have been: The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End both by Ken Follett, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and (ashamed to admit) The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.
