You know, I've never been much for the misty-eyed, hyper-enthusiastic arguments for books like, "Reading is an ADVENTURE! You can take a canoe down the Amazon! You can ride on a camel in the Sahara desert! etc. etc." Mostly because the magic of books tends to be for me what they make you feel, and also because when I was a kid I had enough imagination to (figuratively) take those canoes and ride those camels myself.
On the other hand, I'm currently switching between three short story anthologies right now: Guy de Maupassant's The Necklace and Other Stories, Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies and Mary Yukari Waters' The Laws of Evening. And despite my assertions, it is kind of nice reach into my blue bag-for-books and have France, India and Japan at my fingertips.
I'm such a nerd.
