I didn’t notice the gentleman on the
other side of our car when I, loudly and
happily, started humming a little ditty.
I glanced up only after I had opened
the door. He smiled at me. Immediately, I
stopped my senseless tune and sheepishly
smiled back. My husband Frank, who had
already slid into the driver’s seat, laughed.
I ducked into the passenger side holding
the source of my pleasure. A new book.
Our son Dan had given me a gift certificate
for my birthday and now I was the proud
owner of, “The Chronicles of Narnia” by
C.S. Lewis.
As we drove home, I chatted non-stop
about the joys of reading. I happened
to glance over at Frank and saw he was
wearing a ridiculous grin.
“What’s so funny,” I asked.
“You!” he replied, “you get so excited
over a new book.”
When compared to all the small
pleasures of this world, I
believe reading ranks

THE Club
It’s Summer - Grab a Book!
by Gail Northgrave Adams, London • from Daytripping Magazine, Summer 2007
at the top. The pleasure is heightened on
a summer’s day if one is able to relax in
a lounge chair with a cool drink. Likewise,
a blazing fire, a mug of hot chocolate and
a good novel makes any winter’s day
delightful.
The inscription over the door on
the great library at Thebes which was
established in the third millennium BC
reads, “Medicine for the Soul.” Indeed,
there is a book for any and every need
or desire. Whatever your fancy, be it
history, gardening, cooking, novels,
autobiographies or… there is a volume
waiting to befriend you.
Many people, myself included,
have cherished memories of parents,
grandparents or teachers who took the
time to read to a child. Strickland Gillian
sums it up with these lines. “You may
have tangible wealth untold; caskets of
jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I
you can never be – I had a mother who
read to me.”
Indeed, reading enhances one’s
imagination and provides lasting
treasures. It’s summer. How about joining
me with a cool drink outdoors. I’ll
grab my book, you grab yours.
