That's a good advice!!!
"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!" Umberto Eco
Brilliant thinking. Made me smile.
"Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. ... Reading is bliss." Nora Ephron
Well said. Nora Ephron was just a great author. Greatly missed.

Definitely like the Ephron quote! I've 'met' some brilliant people lately between the covers of a book....Bliss indeed!
ReplyDeleteShe was such a lovely woman with so many great ideas. I haven't found anything by her that I don't agree with, Kitten. She was one of us.
DeleteReading as medicine. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteActually book therapy is a big thing these days
Book therapy sounds good, Emma. I don't know where I'd be today if it wasn't for books. I am sure I wouldn't be here anymore.
DeleteI love that Nora Ephron quote! And I turn to books when I'm feeling sad or unwell, too.
