Nothing Like a Good Book

I just finished reading "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, and I would definitely recommend it!

The book begins with Margaret Lea, a biographer and avid reader, being asked to write the biography of Vida Winter, a best-selling author and known liar when it came to interviews. What ensues is a story of mystery, incest, murder, secrets and lies.

I refuse to give any of it away, so check it out. It's been out for a while, so I'm certain you can find it in the library or something. One of my favorite parts:

"I have always been a reader; I have read at every stage of my life, and there has never been a time when reading was not my greatest joy. And yet I cannot pretend that the reading I have done in my adult years matches in its impact on my soul the reading I did as a child. I still believe in stories. I still forget myself when I am in the middle of a good book. Yet it it not the same. Books are, for me, it must be said, the most important thing; what I cannot forget is that there was a time when they were at once more banal and more essential than that. When I was a child, books were everything."

How true.
