Since “Inspiration” is (or should be) the theme this week--what is your reading inspired by?

My Response:
I love learning and I like to learn while I read. When I stumble upon a book that has an interesting story line, believable characters, and information that I had not known prior reading, I am inspired. Learning new things makes me smile.

As a caveat, I must say that profanity and graphic sex turn me off. I actually threw a book in the trash can after I read only one page and found it full of the famous f-word. I don't need to fill my brain with garbage. You've heard, "What goes in, must come out." I intend to protect what goes in.

I appreciate reading to experience problem-solving, distant lands, diverse cultures, and the goodness of God in man. I revel in books that make me THINK. I enjoy books with happy endings. The best moments are when I close the cover of a well-written novel and sigh, hoping that author writes again.

No Time to Read? Schedule It!

Barbara Brotman wrote an article for The Chicago Tribune entitled Seasons change, but their love for books holds steady. She tells of her neighbors and how they've scheduled blocks of time to read. It's changed their lives.
