Have you ever had occasion to say "The book made me do it?"

For me it was a trip to Syria 18 years ago.

I read Les jardins de lumière by Amin Maalouf (translated as The Gardens of Light) several times between 1995 and 2005. The story is set in 3rd century Palmyra and I was so intrigued and fascinated by the place that I wanted to see it for myself.

We also ended up with a dog from there ...

Yes. Many, maybe even most, of my globe trotting resulted from wanting to see what I read somewhere!

I ❤️ seeing all kinds of book, art, & photography posts. If this describes your acct. please introduce yourself.

If you ❤️ seeing & posting ad nauseum, news, politics, & stuff of that nature, keep on scrolling, as you will never see that on this acct. Please & thank you. @bookstodon

Yep, I read the news, sure.
Seeing opinions here and there, fine.

But I mostly come here for the same reasons.
