The Magic of Books...
"I believe in the magic of books. I believe that during certain periods in our lives we are drawn to particular books--whether it's strolling down the aisles of a bookshop ... and suddenly finding the most perfect, most wonderfully suitable book staring us right in the face. Or a chance meeting with a stranger or friend who recommends a book we would never ordinarily reach for. Books have the ability to find their own way into our lives."
I find some of those books that enter my life at a particular time get read over and over like a lifeline. It is through books that I find someone else understands my experience as their characters go through similar things. Some authors articulate my own feelings and experiences so well that books make me feel I am not alone!
Totally agree with Cecelia on this one :-) Books must be magical they transport me to so many different worlds.
