"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

Percolating ....

Now that another year has come and gone, I find myself in the throes of percolating over a new list of books to read. Oh bother.
Really?
Not! ~

My first percolations for the new year have been pre-ordered:

April 19, 2011
In the meantime, while I wait for their arrival ….. I do believe I’ll be going through my library shelves to see what I shall see.

Should I revisit old friends? Or perhaps - meet up with new friends that have been ever so patiently waiting for me to slide them out from a dusty niche, skip over their pages with the flick of my thumb, and allow my eyes to fall into a phrase that will catch me unawares and pull me in? Yes! That’s what I’ll do then. This is the time of year when friends-in-waiting make their appearance, after all.

I have so many,  it will be a difficult decision. 

But then again,
I will not have to decide.
One will choose me.

Which one?
I wonder.
