One of my favorite things is strolling through a library. I like finding those quiet nooks where I can feel the silence pressing in. The books seem to whisper from their shelves, each one full of possibilities. Who do I want to be today? A Viking crossing the North Sea? An Egyptian Pharaoh defending her land from invaders? I can be all of them if I open a book and fall into its pages. I can be anyone I want to be and for as long as I like.
