I have fallen into a poor habit of reading late into the evening, even on work nights. I suspect that it is because I have been hiding in books lately. In fact, I spent the past two days reading eight of them.

I did nothing else but read. Kashi curled up beside the couch, while Fancy joined me. Two whole days of reading one book, getting up to fetch another one, and then settling back down on the couch.

I can get lost for hours at a time, living the lives of the characters I encounter, reveling in the world around them, testing limits. facing dilemmas, battling evil, fighting for good, helping others, studying truth...doing something that matters...in that world.
