I Read Richard Peck, author

“I read because onelife isn’t enough, and

in the pages of a bookI can be anybody;

I read because thewords that build

the story become mine,to build my life;

I read not for happyendings but for newbeginnings; I’m just

beginning myself, andI wouldn’t mind a map;

I read because I havefriends who don’t, andyoung though they are,

they’re beginning torun out of material;

I read because everyjourney begins at

the library, and it’stime for me to start

packing;

I read because oneof these days I’m going

to get out of thistown, and I’m going to

go everywhere and meeteveryone, and I want

to be ready.”http://flic.kr/p/dajhu6
