There is nothing better than curling up with a really good book. Something that wraps you up and takes you away into another world. A story that keeps you up late at night because even though your eyes are tired and you know you should turn off the light and go to bed... you-can't-stop-turning-the-pages. Recently a friend lent me the book 'The book of Negroes' by Lawrence Hill. This is exactly the book I had been craving. Something to whisk me away to another world. I've started keeping a list of 'must read books' that I will share with my kids someday. A list of books I hope they'll read when they are older. This one is going on the list.
Sometimes when real life is shit, reading a good book helps (thanks Tamawa).
