A quiet, soft spot to be alone
A steaming cuppa, a good book, warm blanket,
Getting lost in the words of a land unknown
Knights and maidens glorified in iambic sonnet
Uncharted stars and worlds strange
Joining an unexpected journey with a Hobbit
A family saga set against the good earth
Freedom to read radical verse and liberal thought
Lines of romantic poetry penned by Wordsworth
Ship’s log recounting the quest of an Argonaut
Crusading cleric investigating medieval crime
The end of these stories leave me overwrought
More an obsession than a pastime
A love of stories lasting a lifetime

nice to know I am not alone in the deep enjoyment of simple pleasures

A good book, warm blanket and a hot cuppa tea and I’m blissfully happy.

I used to be a very avid reader. Things have happened to my brain over time, and I don’t have the focus anymore.

It would be a sad day if I couldn’t enjoy reading. Perhaps an audio book would be an alternative.
