I picked up a book at school yesterday, of which I expected to skim through only the first ten or twenty pages, then put back on the shelf when my next student arrived for our meeting. I actually ended up creating a library account for myself, despite being based in the school library for over a year, and taking the book home. Now I'm fifty pages in. Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is interesting, thought-provoking and hopefully useful for being more mindful and happy. Then this afternoon on our way back through the city to the car my husband and I stumbled on a used book sale in a public square. We let ourselves buy two new books even though there isn't room on the current bookshelf for them. Pleasure is reading a stimulating book and knowing other books are there waiting for me.
