Escapist Lit

This linocut represents a sanctuary from the demands of everyday life. The quiet, dim, stillness evokes a library or a greenhouse, both excellent places to be alone with your thoughts (or someone else's).

If reading escapism is a strategy you use to cope with th stresses of the world, there is absolutly no shame in that (I used to think there was). Reading sometimes carries the same relaxation for me as actually dreaming, but my brain is being guided along a specific path and not allowed to wander. My subconscious is a wanderer who travels to some STRANGE places while I'm not at the helm. Reading can bring you to a mood of triumph, happiness, or determinaton that is HELPFUL for tackling non-fictional problems. Read to escape, or for the pure pleasure of it, however you like, and consider acquiring this print for your reading nook or home library.
