A great escape

I often find, in those times that the world seems to have let me down, that a great book is the greatest of escapes. No matter what kind of escape you need, there is a great book out there to provide you that particular kind of fantasy that you most need in that moment. Whether you need a great romance to remind you that people do really fall in love . . . or a great tragedy that reminds you that you really don't have it that bad after all . . . or whether you just need to pick up a travel guide and pretend you're somewhere far, far away . . . a great book is one of the only things in the world, I have found, that can provide these fantasies and escapes with little to no consequences at all.
