Love Thursday is curing my need for speed.

I love to read. I would love nothing better than to just lay around in my Pjs all day and read. I like all kinds of books but really enjoy fiction especially fantasy. I have just finished reading a very, very good book. It was called Peter and the Starcatchers. It is the story that explains how a regular boy named Peter became Peter Pan. I devoured the book in days and it would only have been hours if I didn't have the whole work and kids thing going on.

The librarian at my school has recommended a few books to me and has even lent me a few from her own library. I've been very happy with her selections and finish each of the books quickly.

This week she brought me something different, a book on tape. Actually a book on Compact Disc. Eight disks to be exact. I was very leery of this. I do have a commute in the morning but I usually listen to NPR and get my news on the way to work and listen to really loud music with lyrics that my kids can't hear, on the way home.

I am transformed. I am currently listening to The Secret Life of Bees. I LOVE it. I was so calm today when traffic was backed up because it meant that I could listen longer. I didn't get mad when I was lost. I just go to listen longer. I'm finding that I am not going over the speed limit because I don't want to speed away my "reading" time.

I am not going to be giving up reading from actual books. It's very frustrating that I can't just bring it inside and curl up in bed with it but it has made the trip to work more enjoyable. I'm almost looking forward to it each morning. Almost.
