Question 1:
The start of the story talks about Sir Elliot taking up the Baronetage to find "occupation in an idle hour" and "consolation in a distressed one." Do you have a book or hobby that you can turn to and it unfailingly uplifts you?
While he turns to his family history for vanity's sake - don't you think there are good things to be found in family history?? I certainly think so! It can't be so bad to find comfort in a good history!
I have thought a lot about this question. I guess the book or hobby that I turn to that unfailingly lifts me is books! I thoroughly enjoy reading books, while taking a long, hot bubble bath! This is most relaxing to me! Reading a good book takes me away from the cares of the world for a moment at a time! Most delicious and rewarding!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree there are good things to be found in family history...I just need to make doing family history a priority in my life! :) Thank goodness one of my children loves to do this! :) :) :)
:) Is there a particular book you can read over and over again??
ReplyDeleteOnly the Book of Mormon! :) I really don't like reading the same book over and over again--there are so many books that I want to read, that I don't want to spend valuable reading time reading a book I have already read...
ReplyDeleteOh man.... There are many books I enjoy reading over and over again...like Austen's books! I learn something new each time!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah - I don't read the same books over and over again very often because there are so many books out there that I want to be reading! BUT there are a select few books out there I can definitely read over and over again and they are always just what I need at the time! And it seems like you ALWAYS learn something new when you read a book for an additional time..
