I Read Richard Peck, author
“I read because onelife isn’t enough, and
in the pages of a bookI can be anybody;
I read because thewords that build
the story become mine,to build my life;
I read not for happyendings but for newbeginnings; I’m just
beginning myself, andI wouldn’t mind a map;
I read because I havefriends who don’t, andyoung though they are,
they’re beginning torun out of material;
I read because everyjourney begins at
the library, and it’stime for me to start
packing;
I read because oneof these days I’m going
to get out of thistown, and I’m going to
go everywhere and meeteveryone, and I want
to be ready.”http://flic.kr/p/dajhu6
