The Pacific Ocean

I am not ashamed to admit that the thing I enjoy most is curling up with a good book. I love the way books smell, the rustle of paper beneath my fingertips, but most of all I love the way they suck you into a new world. When you find a good book you are transported—to 1940s Spain, a slave ship crossing the Pacific, or a sun-drenched sky on dragon back while evil wizards chase you. You can forget all of your problems for a while and just imagine what life would be like if you were living in that time, in that world, in that story. I’m never happier than when I’m reading.
