A book for hard times

It would be nice to know how many out there retreat into a book in hard times? Most of us have anxieties, highs and lows throughout our lives – myself more than most :0) Retreating into a story really does take away the lows for me. Is this the case for anyone else? If yes… what are the stories? I remember a particular bad patch for me (anxiety) and reading Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm. I’ve never forgot how much that book helped me through a difficult time in my life.

Many thanks Kate Wilhelm… you will never know – but thank you anyways.

Let me know yours…
