    I don't do anywhere near enough reading these days, I'll have to do something about that. Great lens.

    The book plates are cool. I love to put book plates in my books. They give the books a bit of elegance and help when I loan them out. Nice lens.

    The importance of reading cannot be overestimated. I haven't read the Outlander Series, but I love reading and books as I can tell you do also. Good lens.

    Love Diana Gabaldon. I got hooked on the books too but I'm not sure if I finished the series. I should take your suggestion and read them all over again, this time on my Kindle.

    Reading opens doors to places you never knew existed.

    I believe reading is very important and feel a certain happiness when my girlfriend and I choose to read over watching TV. We've shared a lot of great books. I wrote a lens on my book "The Ten-Day Forecast". As an author I have to believe reading is important. Great lens!

    Though a story be turned to movie
    The book itself must cert be read
    A 2 hour capsule may yes be groovy
    But the pages drive imagination instead

    Ah I've been a bookworm as long as I could remember. The Jane Eyre books is my favorite from Charlotte Bronte. Villette and Shiley are must-read from her as well. :)

    I've made a lens on Jane Eyre, I hope you drop by! :D

    Books are man's best friends. They give him company equally in times of happiness as well as in times of distress.

    I love Diana Gabaldon, read a few of hers, love the crossover into mystery and magick! Love this lens if you're happy I'm going to add a link in my lenses. Wonderful lens :)

    I love books but would you believe I have not yet read Diana Gabaldon? Thanks for this comprehensive introduction to her books.

    What a great lens! You've really highlighted the importance of reading here, and mentioned some great books too! Please feel free to stop by my lens and say hi when you get the chance.

    A book can be so satisfying, and the immersion in character so much deeper and longer lasting than movies. Yet for me the most important point you made is: "If you can read you can learn anything."

    Great lens! Anything that promotes reading is all right with me!

    I'm a big Diana Gabaldon and "Outlander Series" fan. And I met her once, when she did a talk and reading here in Flagstaff, where she went to school. What a nice, neat lady!

    Very creative lens!

    I have a 17-year old teenager who read a lot until lately. He's suddenly just stopped reading. I'm not sure why...is it the book selection, although we use the library extensively and have a wide selection available here at home. Is it just a stage? Who knows.

    I have heard about these Gibaldon books but never quite been tempted. Are they equally appealing to a guy?

    Nicely done & blessed.

    I love to read, too! and that Outlander series has to be on my list this week -- I keep hearing about it! Sounds like a must!
  • Susan52 Jul 9, 2009 @ 7:58 am | delete
    The highlight of reading to my children was when I would have to stop at an end of a chapter and they wanted me to read on and on! They're both great readers now, too, and I'm so grateful for that. I haven't read the Outlander Series, but I will definitely put it on my list.
