OMY Lighthouse,

I read two or three novels at a time.

I'm reading Life After Life, and The Beautiful and the Damned (I know the forum is going to censor this title!) by F Scott Fitzgerald, right now.

Now I have lots and lots of justification for my time spent reading.

That, and of course, I can't walk with the severe PN, so I have to do something while I'm sitting around all day.

No wonder I'm in three book clubs!

Hugs,  Elaine

Interesting article, and for me I believe it has merit. I love to read and I find a good book improves my mood and does distract me from pain and may help with some fatigue. On the other hand, when in a flare, I cannot read three words in a row and comprehend them!

Sometimes I let the guilt factor get in my way of reading. I feel I should be doing something constructive (cleaning, cooking, organizing something, etc) than taking time to read for selfish pleasure.

Well, now with this article I can look at it differently as reading helping me and my body to feel better so I can do things on my "to do list" !

I have always dreamed of a room in my house dedicated as a library.
