“When you lose yourself in a book, the hours grow wings and fly.” 

 Chloe Thurlow

So true!

I always try to check who is who that I am quoting, given that I find the words all over the place in books or on random pages or searches. Apparently Chloe is a writer of erotic fiction who mother doesn't speak to her. Or she could be a knitting designer, but I think I'm going with the author here.

Books, reading and time make for a fascinating investigation of the relativity o time i think. Time is such a fluid concept and just as she says here, when you are deep in a book, utterly committed to it, using every spare moment, delaying and postponing other things just to get the time to read it, you do honestly lose yourself.

It is wondrous that words on a page can have that much power. That they can virtually warp time. Somehow their effect is as if to place you in a form of vacuum where there is no sense of time, that you exist somehow beyond the notion of it.

Just fabulous.

And yes, the hours grow wings and fly...
