Book Meme - Day 15
Day 15 - Your “comfort” book
It was for the longest time, The Princess Bride. I'd grab it, flip it open to the fight between the "Dread Pirate Roberts" and Inigo Montoya, or read about the Fire Swamp. Now when I'm feeling blue, or need a pick me up I read Lamb by Christopher Moore.
This sums it up for me regarding the book:
"If you have come to these pages for laughter, may you find it.
If you are here to be offended, may your ire rise and your blood boil.
If you seek an adventure, may this song sing you away to blissful escape.
If you need to test or confirm your beliefs, may you reach comfortable conclusions.
All books reveal perfection, by what they are or what they are not.
May you find that which you seek, in these pages or outside them.
May you find perfection, and know it by name."
Suffice it to say a book about "Biff Jesus Childhood Pal" entertains me, makes me cry, makes me laugh, and reminds me that really what it boils down to is: be nice to others. Plus it's a most epic road story.
