Broken Record

My brother’s like a broken record.  He tells me about how we used to bike around the neighborhood pretending we were race car drivers, and how we’d gained multiple knee scrapes from turning the curb too fast. He’ll tell me this story twice, thrice, or even four times in a row, and laugh about the good ol’ days. I laugh with him, because though he doesn’t remember that he’s already told me this story for the fourth time in a row, he does remember the fun we had. My brother’s like a broken record, but I don’t mind one bit.

Books

Books in a rainbow of color wrapped in plastic wait for me on their wooden shelves. The books are like candy waiting for my consumption. Yellowed pages, white pages, each with their own unique smell. The sound of pages turning, flipping. The feel of their covers; paper, hardcover, and cloth. The rising satisfaction as the bookmark moves further and further towards the end, showing how far I've gone, showing how far I've yet to go. That's what I love about books. They are special and full of wonder. A book catches my eye. What journey will I go on today?
