What is a book? A book is an object by which learn as in a schoolbook. A book could also be a reference book when one needs to find interesting subjects to write about. Books are also meant to be enjoyed for there are picture books, fiction books, and poetry books to read for fun and enjoyment and still have fun reading. I still love the phrase I learned in Teacher education one learns to read then reads to learn. Books to hold in your hand or even eBooks are great places to escape from the world for a while.

Colorado
'Colorado' the seventh book in the Wagons West series written by Dana Fuller Ross where the characters of Leland Blake and Cathy find themselves at the tail end of the 'Great Gold Rush' and the very beginnings of the Civil War. The question of this story is 'Where does everyone stand, Union or Confederate? Family members have to make many decisions on this question and their individual beliefs in a nation about to be torn apart. Dana Fuller Ross does an excellent job in following history and how it all happened even for a work of fiction.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
