Back to school always brings books to mind. Even with today's laptops, netbooks, Kindles, and smart phones...there is still nothing like the feel and smell of a book.

I would wager that everyone reading this post cherishes that time alone...at the end of the day or a day off...maybe the children have gone off to bed, the last touches on tomorrow's presentation are finished and you have your favorite book - glass of wine- and a comfortable chair with just the right reading light...it's just you and the book. You loose yourself in a tangled web of intrigue or walk with that teenager coming of age as you identify to your heart's content.

Books can take us away, they can instruct us...they even scold us at times. I don't what it is but there are certain authors that we follow because we know that their new book will fit us to a "T". Books have been with us since printing presses and even before...they will still be here...mark my words...even in the age of computer ink...because of that feel and the anticipation of turning that next page.
