Travelling the world through books📚

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Friday, 2 Aug 2024, 11:23

I love to read books that are  set in other countries  I am currently reading ( A Room with a View by E. M. Forster) I think the reason for this is that,  I have always longed to travel to exotic places. Unfortunately, I don't have the finances to travel to these far flung places myself, so instead I can get absorbed in reading a book about a country I would really like to visit.
I then feel in my imagination,  that I am actually there and visiting that place!
I like to read both fiction and non- fiction books, just as long as there are some good descriptions of the geography and the culture, so that I can conjure up pictures in my mind of what it looks like.
When I have finished reading, then I feel like I have really already been there myself, to visit all these lovely destinations!

Reading is the only means of living (life) many times!
