Bookworm

Something had been missing from my life over the past few weeks.

I looked online. Nothing.

I chatted up co-workers for recommendations. Nada.

Weeks of devouring piles of magazines did not quench my appetite.

I needed a good read.

So a few days ago I went back to the basics and walked the aisles of the library.

Empty-handed from searching through fiction I meandered around the "Biographies" area.

There I stumbled upon a modern day memoir written by a surgeon.

The inside flap read, ".. a journey into the heart of a world that is hidden and yet touches all of our lives".

Sounds like a good read? Absolutely. The story gave me three nights of absorbing bedtime reading.

Feels good to be back in the land of books.
