Day 25: Joy staying up half the night to finish a great book!

It has been years, probably since college, that I have found myself so excited about a book that I was able to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning to finish a book.  As the rain poured outside my bedroom window, the pages flew by through my fingertips.  Wanting to read, just a little further, loosing track of time, listening to the passing thunder and continuing on to find out what happens next.  I didn't stop when my cat, finally decided the puppy was sound asleep and wouldn't notice, curled up on against my leg and fell asleep himself.  I didn't stop to double check how late it had become, I was completely lost, or rather caught up in the story of Denny and his dog Enzo.  It's such a great experience to jump into a story and not return until you've flipped that last page.  Then you take a breath again, decide you need to turn off the light and feel the joy of such a great experience.
