I've always said that...Loved this post, Peggy! I've always said that I hope heaven has libraries. I'd add to your vision of heaven that those chocolates would be the best ever made and with no calories!!! LOL I don't remember learning to read. I was reading encyclopedias at home in grade one and Dick and Jane books at school. I didn't feel any dissonance between the two activities. I think little kids just accept their regular lives as normal and don't think about it. I love, love time travel books, and I dearly love the Outlander series (historical setting within a time travel framework). I've been lost in James Mitchener's "Hawaii" for several weeks now ~ big, fat book, serious shortage of time! It's a wonderful overview of the history of Hawaii, but I find it unevenly written and there are some odd sections where the author steps out of the fictional story and adds his opinions. Big chunks of the book are excellent! I'm going to follow it up with "Shoal of Time: A History of the Hawaiian Islands" by Gavan Daws. I've been meaning to read Daws book forever, but I would get frustrated by the Hawaiian names and language. Now I've spent enough time in the islands that I think the Hawaiian words will not be an impediment (The English words are just fine LOL). One book that I got lost in recently was "Commander in Chief" a "Tom Clancy" book written by Mark Greaney. It's a political thriller about the situation with the Russians in the Baltic sea/countries area. It was published in 2015 and is excellent ~ very military ops book, but so thought-provoking, It might not be your taste, but I recommend it highly! Happy reading, my friend!
