For the Love of Books

I currently have seven books in flight—a few that I'm actively reading, a couple that I'm trying to juggle for learning new skills, and a couple more that I started a while back but had to put aside for the time being. What they are doesn't really matter. It seems I'm always in the middle of at least a few books at a time. Please understand this is not bragging; it's love. I love starting a new book, with all of its promises of knowledge or adventure or perspective. I love progressing through the middle of a good book, absorbing enough introductory material to understand more difficult concepts or following the intricate plot twists as a story builds to its conclusion. And I love finishing a great book, reflecting on the knowledge learned and the experiences had through the written word mixed with imagination. Books are still a major source of enjoyment and fulfillment for me, and I don't see that ever changing.
