Once upon a time, there was a life without a story, a story without a book and a book without a reader.
Until one day, Story knocked on Life's door.
"Who is it?" asked Life.
"Your story," answered Story.
Life and Story shared many moments: happy, sad ones and of the unspeakable kind. The more they shared, the more excited they became and out of their joyous relationship came about a book. A book about life... a story of many lives. Only there was a problem, the book needed readers.
Knock, knock!
"Who is it? asked Book.
"Your reader,"said the dreamer.
Lets face it. We all have stories. We all love stories. Stories make life all the more interesting. Books transport us to other worlds. Readers turn books to life, movies, traditions...a book without a reader is lost and forgotten.
And that's why we have book festivals! To satisfy our literature hunger :-)
The Los Angeles Times Book Festival is one of the largest around. If anyone is attending, please stop by and say hello. I will be discussing and signing for
