I read, of course!

You may think that after a busy day of searching for books, researching books, taking pictures of books, cataloging and listing books, I’d be all “booked out.”

On the contrary!

There is nothing better at the end of a long day than settling into my old leather recliner, faithful cat companion, Jinx, on my lap and a hot cup of Earl Grey tea at my elbow.

They type of day I have will often dictate the book I choose. A particularly busy day calls for something fun and lighthearted.  Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest comes to mind.

A normal busy day draws me to some of my favorite Ray Bradbury stories with his vivid imagery,  lyrical prose and exploration of human emotion. I also enjoy how he cleverly juxtaposes the fantastic with the ordinary.

If the day has been light, and my brain can take some extra flexing, I love reading up on some of my favorite philosophers like Schopenhauer or Kant. I mean, who doesn’t love Kant?
