“We read to know we’re not alone.”
William Nicholson in Shadowlands
One of the joys of life must be reading. Reading provides nourishment for the mind and the soul. Without books the world would be a poorer place because reading gives us knowledge and solace. When we read stories we engage with another world, another person’s life. The style and pattern of the words become part of our subconscious acknowledgement of the writer’s skill and we absorb and think about that language. Non-fiction reading also provides valuable learning. We research to increase our understanding of the world.
In this section of the website we share our thoughts about some of the books we have read and enjoyed, to give insight into what we read and why.
