Attention world:
Here's a little exposition on how we chose our blog title. We belong to the few on this earth who have the luxury of time to read, and the even fewer who love to do it and get a thrill from giving oneself up to the instructions and explanations of the author. We're the kind of girls who devote whole days of vacation time to reading. We love books that challenge us, characters that inspire us, and plot twists that confound us. We don't have time to whine about life because we're too busy adventuring in our minds and if your party is boring, don't be offended if we're making the most of our time by diving into Pillars of the Earth or The Silmarillion.
We have wanderlust. Bad. No day's too short for a drive, no night is too long to enjoy every minute of open road, putting the car through her paces and checking in on America. How else to get acquainted with this great nation? The stars are our companions--we follow their path across the night sky as they watch us progress across the land. We live off sunsets and sunrises, highway songs and friendships that strengthen with every hour passed in companionable silence. You know you are trusted by a person who sleeps at your side while you motor forward at 75 miles an hour. When we need sustenance we strive to locate all-night diners because we have a stake in what becomes of American traveling culture and we'll be damned if chain restaurants replace local dives.
Books and road running - this is how we spend our free time. We occupy all worlds--imaginary and real--to the fullest extent of our ability. Bis vivit qui bene vivit -- she lives twice who lives well. See you on the interstate.
