A Love Affair With Books

Why is it that, for some of us, books are so irresistible?  At least for me, books have been beacons of light along the winding and narrow dirt roadways of my life.  The written word has always represented a world of what could be.  A world that was always different from the one in which I worked.  And in the world in which I worked, not too many people were as nuts about books on marketing, networking, leadership and writing as I was.  Thank God for the parallel world of the internet!  In this world I met the folks who make up one of the most passionate sites around - Joyful Jubilant Learning. 

So, what happens when you get folks together who are passionate about books?  You get a month's worth of book delight.

Each day of this month someone takes one of their favorite books and writes a review.  Here is the roster:
