One day I was lamenting to my pastor how there are so many books I want to read, and then just think of the ones not even written yet that I will want to read later, and how I would die before I could read them all. He just kind of looked at me and said in a gently 'duh' kind of way, "Sarah, what do you think Heaven will be for you?"
DUH! It will be my own giant library full of books I have not read, and I will spend eternity in a cozy chair by a fireplace, never without a book. That sounds like paradise to me!
@ Mudpuddle: I know *of* him but haven't read any of his stuff. I'm guessing I'd probably like him.
@ Sarah: I'll try not to disturb you when you arrive - but if (when you get there) you look over to your left I'll be the one sitting in another cozy chair with my nose in a book looking forward to an eternity in a library with every book ever publish and new ones arriving every day. I'm guessing the Mudpuddle will be in another chair close by.
interesting writer; the sort that you instinctively like but don't know why...

Sounds perfect! We will have to wait a good long while for Eleanor to arrive, but she will join us eventually.
