Read All Night, Read All Day; and one painting

I started reading this book,  Room, by Emma Donoghue, on Sunday, at bedtime around 10:30 PM.

I

continued reading, and around

 2 A.M. I finally told myself that as hard as it was to put this book down I had to get some sleep.

 Fortunately, for me I had Monday off work...so I got up at eight and read until I finished it at 2 PM.
What a read! I've put the book covers here for you to read, but I won't say anymore, other than it is the very best book I have read in a very long time. I don't remember being as gripped by a book since reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

 I cannot recommend Room highly enough for it's exquisite writing, it's compelling story, and the connection you will make to the characters, Ma and Jack. Jack is five and he's the narrator of their story. It's emotional. And being an emotional person I cried buckets, such a purge.

Late this afternoon I drew and painted this small picture of a baby!

Nothing to do with the above mentioned book.
