Here’s a question that comes up a lot: “What kind of books do you like to read?” As an author, I firmly believe that reading widely is essential to good writing. Just like the food we eat, the things we read help to shape us into who we are.
As for food, I’ll eat anything. As for books, if the truth be told, I do tend to hover in same few areas of the bookstore. But I have been trying to stretch my “palate’ a bit. Looking at my reading pile, I see a few books I’d like to share with you:
Okay, so my favorite book in the whole wide world, is….WINNIE THE POOH! Although he often purports to be somewhat self-absorbed, he is, more often than not, the most selfless, kindest, and sweetest little bear in the world. His innocence and charm and general “squidginess” never ever cease to remind me that that’s exactly how Christ wants me to be (okay, not necessarily squidgy, but you know what I mean!). Jesus told us to be like the little children…so I try to be like Pooh and Christopher Robin as much as possible!
