A truly extraordinary book is a rare find. I used plow my way through dozens and dozens of books in search of one so magical that I would happily spend days lost in its thrall.
But since Graham's birth and the resultant time crunch, I have discovered few.
And I have missed it.
I have missed the way in which an extraordinary book makes the world seem more exotic and full of possibility. I have missed being awestruck by the evocative power of a masterful wordsmith and the unfettered imagination of a gifted storyteller.
I have missed books like The Gargoyle.

Looks intruiging. And it also makes me want to get that tattoo. That is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI hear you on this. I'm finally reading a book after months of not reading anything. And I picked up a 1000 page book. What's up with that? But so enjoying a well developed read!
ReplyDeleteMy books are my soulfood, if I make time for anything its a little bit of reading time each day - thanks for giving me something that looks wonderful to read.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to love this book.
ReplyDeleteI did get lost in it and yes it was certainly a unique escape...
