Books

For as long as I can remember, my mother always had a book in her hands.  Curled up in her blue chair, cozy in her bed, or relaxing in the tub.  Books were always in our house and she read to us as young children.  Even today when I go into a bookstore, study, or teach my students something new I think of my mother.  I enjoy the smell of an old book, the sleek pages of a new one, or the beautiful illustrations within.  I especially love reading non-fiction, fantasy,  and self-help books... not to mention the Bible.  I love to learn and love to read!
