   I like the concept.

   It might make me feel guilty though for all the books I am still meaning to read.

   Ms S , I feel that way about books I have to read for review. BUT how about instead…seeing pleasure in all the books we’ve read and loved? That’s what the photos make me think of.

   I don’t think we should feel guilty about what we haven’t read yet, or pressure ourselves to. Though that is so much easier to say than to do. And why?

   I like the perspective you offer much better than my guilt-laden one. Reading truly is a pleasure and has always been so.

   Oh, good, Ms S.; I’m so glad! I didn’t want to step on your toes.

   It’s lovely to hear that reading is a pleasure for you. So then, if you can, throw that guilt away–because it doesn’t belong.

   I love pictures of people reading. It always feels a little like peeking at the world that they’re sunk into, while at the same time knowing that they’re completely private in there. It makes me want to go read.
