Books.
Cracking one open for the very first time and breathing in that new book smell. Nothing like it in the world. You know how some books just suck you in and you literally cannot stop reading? (Ok, maybe you could, but you don't want to.)
Last night, I finished just such a book—The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It's not a book that I would normally think would be in the "can't put it down" category. It starts out slowly and quietly, but it wasn't long before I was hooked on this very compelling story about maids in the South in the early 60s. I can't wait to discuss it at book club next week.
Books are the best.

See I told you! It's such a good book!!!
oooh - I've been wanting to read this since I heard the interview with her on NPR. She read part of it and I was entranced. I would LOVE to get an audio book with Kathryn reading it. Glad to know you endorse it. To the library hold list I go!
It's on my list for the year. I need to contribute 2-3 ideas for our book club for the year. I have my list down to 27. So many good books!
