My Love Affair...

Never have I felt more at home or more at peace than when I am with my one true love.

Books.

Today I got to spend quite a few hours in a famous bookstore in Denver. I was breathing in the experience and realized that books - make me, who I am.

When I talk about, dream about or read about books - I get so excited I begin to shake.

When people ask me what kind-of books I read, I launch into a really long explanation about all the books I like to read, have read and will read. I'm always proud to announce that my queue is approximately 30books long.

I talk about books like I would talk about a lover. I divulge my most intimate moments and details that I have experienced through books.

Anyway - back to the bookstore...

It was three stories - yes, three!! Filled from top to bottom with books, so many books.

Being surrounded by the literature, wisdom and knowledge that is shared through these books - makes me feel empowered. Like all the worlds secrets are right there at my finger tips.

As I begin a list of all the new books I want to read - I have to fight to not purchase them.

I dream about a day when I can purchase all the books in the world and have my own library filled with so much knowledge - any regular person would be over-whelmed.

I hopped around from section to section finding all sorts of treasures - philosophy, psycology, cooking, biography, auto-biography, memoirs, fiction, non-fiction, business, culture, history...and so many more.

Thinking about my experiences with books makes me feel euphoric - enlightened.

If you read and love books as much as me - please let me know...I am always looking for people to talk about books with...

I mean, seriously, it's the greatest love affair of my life...
