Lost In A Good Book
Wednesday, December 29, 2010
After the chattering and the feasting and the frantic activity... there is crashing in heaps on assorted couches, in comfortable corners under the stairs, and in hammocks of all shapes, sizes and degrees of difficulty-to-get-into-with-a-cup-of-tea. Not all at the same time, mind you, but you get the picture... gluttony begets sloth. And sloth, if not quite begetting, is certainly much improved by something good to read (and maybe a stray sausage roll or two...)
Which makes this picture seem very appropriate, for those lazily warm afternoons lurking in a semi-dozing state beneath a juicy new book...
It strikes me as very Jasper Fforde... if the book was to close, I imagine they’d be pulled into the story, rather than being squashed.
Wherever you are, I hope there’s a leftover baked item and some good reading...
