1/24/17 RMB Reading Binge
Dear Rita Mae Brown,
While the California skies unleash a decade of pent up rain,
or so it seems, I keep busy digesting book after book.
Characters like Detective Michael Bennett of Michael
Ledwidge and James Patterson’s Alert mix with the wizard Harry
Dresden in Jim Butcher’s Fool Moon, while I contemplate the messages
in You
Can Create an Exceptional Life by Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson.
Aside from all that, there are the afternoon lunches with Mary Minor “Harry” Harristeen
in your Tail of the Tip-Off.
Is there a such a thing as a reading binge? If so, I guess I
am on one. Escaping from the current aftermath of our recent presidential
election, reading has become a sort of vacation, vacating from here and all of
this, to there and all of that.
My own writing, exercising, yardwork, and other
responsibilities, have been set aside for work and research of the human
condition, finding out what makes us tick, why we do the things we do. Whether
fiction or non-fiction, words written reflect life, not just from the
perspective of one individual, but from all of those whose lives that
individual has interacted with.
Although my own writing has stalled while I explore that of
others, my drive to write is fed and nourished. Absence makes the heart grow
fonder, and I am looking forward to putting pen to page again soon.
Best regards,
Loraine
