Love Literacy

One of my favorite books when I was a little kid. I think I probably read it about four times. C.S. Lewis was just one of those authors that knew how to make a good story. It doesn't have to be realistic... it doesn't have to be funny... it just has to read well. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is definitely an example of this. Not only this book, but the other six in this series. I would recommend them to anyone regardless of their age.

On the photographic side, I was trying to take a picture that would capture my love of reading. But that isn't an easy thing to do. I mean... I could take a picture of my bookshelf, but who really wants to see that? So I opted for a nice, sturdy hardcover book and large, clear print to convey my message. Reading should be fun. Reading should make you happy or at least incite some emotional response. I worked really hard with this picture to get the light to fall just right in the middle of the page. It is meant to be a reminded that books have a way of illumination problems and solutions in the world around us. 

So next time you find yourself with nothing else to do, pick up a book. If you pick the right book you might just find that you actually do love literacy.
