Reading enjoyment at school or home

WHAT PURSUIT is relaxing
and exciting at once? What
activity can engross people of
varying interests for hours on
end, taking them deep inside
themselves and other people,
or across the globe and even
to other planets? The angwer
is reading.

Emily Dickinson wrote,
““There is no frigate like a
book to take us lands away.”’
Indeed, there is no other pur-

was 600 years ago — how fre-
quently the reader feels tw-

of that.

Such as John Donne’s ‘*No
“Man is an Island’’, Andrew
Marvell's ‘‘To ,His Coy
Mistress’’, and John Milton’s
sonnet ‘‘On His Blindness’’,
to name just a few, echo their
