        “It felt easier to lose myself in Daniel and Vera’s story than to sort out my own.” – This quote is the one I will carry with me. I agree that there are times when we read to immerse in another world, and to forget our own challenges. What do you think?

          Absolutely. Reading has always been my preferred escape from real life. Now, I use it to escape doing household chores, lol.

            When I was going through a divorce, I read voraciously.  As soon as I was home from work, I read. I read into the wee hours because that kept me from having the space to think about my situation. Reading is an escape that has sometimes evolved into a therapy.
