RE: Harry Potter Garden--OT Books and the imagination.

Some days it's a real toss-up - the book or the garden.  Thank goodness
for bad weather and nightfall - then I can settle down with my book
guilt-free.   And now I even have audio books, so my long drive to and
from work can be utilized.

I know it - that just amazes me. I always had a book in my hand even
when I was young. Of course I was reading Homer at 10 and Shakespeare at
12, only because that's what was in the house. I still can't get enough
reading time in to suit me!! I feel badly for anyone who doesn't share
in the wonder of reading!!
