They really are a wonder - where would we be without them?StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-29066591631788142642012-10-19T09:14:53.244+01:002012-10-19T09:14:53.244+01:00I am currently undergoing gruelling chemo treatmen...I am currently undergoing gruelling chemo treatments for colon cancer here at home in Cape Town, South Africa. I have always been an avid reader but books have become so much more to me now. Brand new fresh smelling, well-thumbed library editions, or light-to-handle-when-in-bed ebooks. On the worst days, I take comfort from old classics and stories of other people's survival eg. Henrietta's War - Joyce Dennys. On days when I have more physical and psychological energy, I find non-fiction stimulating (especially history) and armchair travel inspiring and amusing eg. Its all Greek to Me - John Mole. Thank you for a delightful, interesting blog. To anyone attempting to survive the dark, physically depleting effects of chemo, books can be your salvation. Do not give up!<br />ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-36889565046539364152012-10-18T12:54:24.964+01:002012-10-18T12:54:24.964+01:00Spotted or Herbaceous?!Spotted or Herbaceous?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
