It used to be I couldn't read when I was sad. Now, it seems, even when (or especially when) I'm not myself, it's most when I need to read.
I have grown quite fond of ebooks, but it's still print that comforts me most...and old book shops that make me feel just the slightest bit close to Heaven.
This quote really applies to getting away from yourself by reading:
“Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.”
