It seems that the list of books I want to read grows weekly. I finally got started on Born To Run
after reading the free preview in Google books. Now I have another one on the list. It seems there is never enough time in the day to read them all.

Some deep thinking for this Sunday.
The company behind Field Notes, of which you know I'm a fan, has come up with the idea to test the theory that books and place affect one another. Meaning where you read a book has just as much of an affect on your feelings about the book and what you feel while reading the content of the book as the book itself does.
I like that idea and it immediately made me realize that I can picture my surroundings the majority of the time while I read each book I have ever read. Thus, in my mind, proving the theory. Try it yourself, think of one of your favorite books and not only does the content of the book come to mind, but to me the place appears also. This is greatly related to this blog because I am a fan of both travel and books among many other things.
