Bench Marks

I’m a little nerdy—but everyone loves a nerd, right?

We have remarkable knowledge for one thing or a lot of things and are always feeding our little brains with information.

I am a nerd that craves words. I love them; devour them. I read books with a dictionary close by just in case I come across a word I’ve never met before. Yes, I said ‘met’. Words and I have an intimate relationship.

I’ve read some books five or six times. My favorite, to date, is After You’d Gone by Maggie O’Farrell. It is beautifully written and leaves me with a new feeling or discovery every single time.

And sometimes, it’s not just the book, but the place in which you read that book that makes the experience that much more. I often read in my bed, but how lovely would it be to sit on one of these beautiful benches, in a garden, perhaps, and have your fill of words…
