Every year in August I let my son choose a novel for me to read.  I get so absorbed in novels that life stops around me when I read.  I set August aside as the one month of the year I allow myself to read a novel.  My son has great taste in books, and his natural inclinations are much different than mine when he decides what he wants to read.  His choices broaden my own horizons!  It's a great adventure every year.  Sometimes he picks a trilogy, and then we're really in trouble as life stops altogether - laundry gets backed up,  supper isn't ready  - sigh - but the family is great about giving me a "lazy month" and the reading usually is really good for me.

This time, Simon chose "Blink" by Ted Dekker.  Well worth a read!
