I don't know how long it's going on but right now this book is $1.99 on Amazon.  I've been wanting to read it for awhile, so I jumped at such a great price.

Favorite thing about books

My favorite thing about books is their scope. I love that they’ve been there for me, have provided me comfort during bad times and joy during good ones but in the end, I love that a book can be about ANYTHING. A few carefully chosen words can put a CGI scene in a movie to shame. The cost is low but the effect is priceless. A picture may be worth a thousand words but it also freezes them, rendering them incapable of being seen any other way. The same words alone, can spawn thousands of pictures, each one vibrant, alive, and changing with ever reread.

So in the words of Reading Rainbow:

“I can be anything…I can go anywhere…take a look, it’s in a book.”
